Facebook reportedly disables account of attorney Mark S. Zuckerberg

Mark S. Zuckerberg, an Indianapolis bankruptcy attorney, might not consider Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to be a friend.


That's because the world's largest social networking website has shut down the lawyer's personal Facebook account.

The attorney told WishTV in Indianapolis that Facebook recently removed his personal page because they thought he was lying about his name, a problem he's run into before with the Palo Alto-based company.
"I was originally denied an account with Facebook two years ago because of my name, and I had to send them copies of my driver’s license, birth certificate and Indianapolis Bar Assn. license just to get them to believe that I exist and to allow me to set up my page," Zuckerberg told the TV station in a statement.
The identity confusion also isn't limited to social networking troubles for the attorney, who was unavailable for comment directly to The Times' Technology blog on Wednesday.

As the Indianapolis Star reported in October, the lawyer owns Iammarkzuckerberg.com, a site dedicated to explaining that while he has the same name, he is indeed a different person than the Facebook creator.
"If you had Googled Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, you would have found me," the attorney writes on his website. "No one else. Mark S. Zuckerberg, bankruptcy attorney. If you had repeated the search two years later, you wouldn't have found me at all.
