    An Indianapolis based bankruptcy attorney, named Mark Steven Zuckerberg, is suing Meta over repeated confusion with CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.

    That’s far less crazy than the clickbait headline had me believe.

      What did you think the headline meant?

        I thought it meant it was the same guy. Like I didn’t know if the FB Mark ever finished college or got a law degree or if he’s representing himself. You know how some people will sue themselves or the company they started so they are the plaintiff and the defense.

      Ah and how exactly is that less crazy?

        Because I thought the two were one and the same.

      Suing for what? Defamation because they think the lawyer is as sleazy as the ceo?

    The attorney is asking for restitution —and a week on Zuckerberg’s yacht.

    What

      I was in danger of having sympathy for lawyer, then this brought me back.

      Way to take a serious matter and make it comical.

        If you look at the actual quote, that is quite editorialized. My reading if the quote was that it was said in jest.

    Reminds me of how after WW2 people stopped calling their kids Adolf or even changed their name Adolf into something else. I mean, I’m not saying Zuckerberg is literally Hitler or something, but it sure is funnily similar.

      Zuckerberg literally means sugar hill/mountain in German.

      source
      • Droggelbecher@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        As an Austrian, this comment saying that ‘Berg’ translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I’ve seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain.

      Same thing happened after WW1 too btw. The strong anti-German sentiments across the US and Europe prompted multiple changes. William and Vilhelm became Bills or Ville; Müller became Miller; Schmidt became Smith.

      I had a lot of Swedish family who did this from around 1915-1930 and as you said, again after WW2.

        What about John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Everyone seemed to share a name with him according to lore.

    See? I knew the different instances of this bot would start fighting each other one day.

    A celebrity? Holy fucking ego, batman!

    I say make it a cage match. Thunderdome style.

    He should just host his own instance and... oh, wait...

    Maybe fb Zuck could follow in the path of the former Ron Artest.

    I’d probably get my name changed even without my accounts getting blocked

    Why are they even assuming someone would want to impersonate meta Zuckerberg?

      Serious answer: A surprising number of people, especially those who still have Facebook accounts in 2025, are susceptible to scams where someone pretends to be a rich and/or famous person asking for favours or money.

      They get a message from a fake Zuck, and because they are dangerously credulous, they believe it is the real Zuck.

      Zuck says they've been selected, or won a prize, or should send a photo or some such, and then suddenly Zuck's blackmailing for a compromising photo or otherwise requesting Amazon gift cards or Bitcoin to "unlock" the prize or whatever.

      "Zuck's a rich man who owns the platform. He knows what he's doing. I'd better look into how to do this Bitcoin thing."

      Facebook knows all this and so any Zucks that are not the Zuck get flagged as scammers and have their accounts shut down.

      They’re worried that one of his clones might’ve escaped its “exit interview” and could expose the program. The accelerated aging and memory writing processes aren’t perfect and if one starts to degrade, it may be feel compelled to get on Facebook despite the obvious risk of Meta tracking it down. Lucky side-effect, I guess.

      Here are some photos of the- hang on, will have to edit and add those later, somebody’s knocking on my door.

    I’m pretty confident this is literally just advertising. Stop promoting this please. The guy is just doing something stupid because people will share it on social media.

      Nope. This is a real attorney. I walk by his office downtown.

        I’m not saying he’s not real. I’m saying this is an ad. It’s a meme lawsuit to get attention. It isn’t a serious one.
