Meta World Conflict?
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.
