Mark Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy lawyer from Indiana, has filed a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta.

Mark Zuckerberg the lawyer uses a commercial Facebook page to advertise his legal practice and communicate with potential clients. But his page has been disabled five times in the last eight years, since Meta’s moderation systems flag his account as falsely impersonating Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the platform.

Mark Zuckerberg is not impersonating Mark Zuckerberg, because he, too, is Mark Zuckerberg. In his legal complaint, Mark Zuckerberg points out that he has been practicing law since Mark Zuckerberg was just three years old.

“It’s not funny,” Mark Zuckerberg, the lawyer, said to Indianapolis’ 13WTHR. “Not when they take my money. This really pissed me off.”

Mark Zuckerberg has spent over $11,000 to advertise his page on Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta platforms, but when Mark Zuckerberg’s account is disabled for allegedly impersonating Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg still has to pay for these advertisements.

In his complaint, the lawyer shared a copy of an email thread from 2020, where he asks about his wrongly disabled account and references that he has been in touch with the platform about this since 2017.

“Also, if you happen to run into the younger, richer Mark Zuckerberg, tell him I said hi and he causes me great aggravation each day,” Mark Zuckerberg the lawyer wrote in one email.

Mark Zuckerberg has long been haunted by the looming presence of Mark Zuckerberg. He even created a website, iammarkzuckerberg.com, where he chronicles how his life has been shaped by being named Mark Zuckerberg.

“I can’t use my name when making reservations or conducting business as people assume I’m a prank caller and hang up,” he said. “My life sometimes feels like the Michael Jordan ESPN commercial, where a regular person’s name causes constant mixups.”

While the attorney may not be a high-profile billionaire, he’s not your average Joe, either (he is Mark Zuckerberg, after all). Sometimes he ends up flying out to Las Vegas for speaking engagements, as he is a respected figure in bankruptcy law. But even on his own turf, he cannot escape the other Mark Zuckerberg.

“While speaking in Las Vegas, a limo driver was waiting for me at the bottom of the escalator with a sign for ‘Mark Zuckerberg,’ causing chaos as a large disappointed crowd had been waiting,” Mark Zuckerberg wrote.

On a regular basis, the lawyer says he receives phone calls and messages intended for the tech founder, which sometimes include death threats and requests for money. But when this daily nuisance turned into a potential loss of income, Mark Zuckerberg lost his patience with Mark Zuckerberg.

I’m not sure if Mark “Facebook” Zuckerberg really has a case. Unless its not Mark “Lawyer” Zuckerberg’s real name, its pretty much slamdunk, no?

Yes, i’m aware these are the shittiest wrestling names.
