An American lawyer who shares his name with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has sued Meta, saying the company wrongly kept blocking his account for impersonation. 

The attorney, Mark S Zuckerberg, is based in Indiana and has been practising bankruptcy law for nearly 38 years. 

He says Facebook has suspended his account five times in the past eight years, each time accusing him of pretending to be someone else. 

According to him, the repeated bans have not only hurt his practice but also cost him thousands of dollars in lost business.

His case, filed in Marion Superior Court, claims that Meta violated its agreement by pulling down paid advertisements worth about $11,000 (Rs 8.2 lakh). 

Explaining the impact, he told WTHR-TV: "It’s like buying a billboard on the side of the highway, paying the people for the billboard and then they come and put a giant blanket over it and you don’t get the benefit of what you paid for.”
