Facebook bans Mark Zuckerberg

By mike, May 13 in blog with 0 comments

A bankruptcy attorney in Indianapolis has the same name as the creator of Facebook; they’re both called Mark Zuckerberg.

The lawyer, Mark S. Zuckerberg has had his personal Facebook account shut down because the social networking website thought he was lying about his name.

Mark S. Zuckerberg told WishTV it wasn’t the first time Facebook has done this. Two years ago, the Indianapolis attorney was denied a Facebook account because of his name.

He told WishTV, ‘I had to send them copies of my driver’s license, birth certificate and Indianapolis Bar Association license just to get them to believe that I exist and to allow me to set up my page.’

Mark S. Zuckerberg even went as far as to dedicate a site called Iammarkzuckerberg.com to clear his name.

He said to the TV station, ‘Now my name isn’t mine anymore. The website HowManyofMe.com claims that only one Mark Zuckerberg exists in the entire United States. Which one do you think they’re counting?’

This identity confusion has the Indianapolis attorney hoping it was all a ‘misunderstanding on Facebook’s part.’ He told WishTV he’s working on getting his personal Facebook page back.

Mark S. Zuckerberg has a business listing page on Facebook titled ‘Mark Zuckerberg I Bankruptcy Attorney Indianapolis’ with 480 social networkers liking the page.
