Meta CEO 祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg） 最近在法庭上遇到了一位非常「特殊」的對手 —— 同名同姓的美國律師。根據《TechCrunch》報導，美國印第安納州一位破產律師也叫 Mark Zuckerberg，因為臉書（Facebook）長期將他誤判成冒充帳號，八年間被封鎖五次，氣得決定狀告 Meta。 同名卻被當假帳號，還得繳廣告費 這位律師表示，他經營自己的臉書專頁，用來推廣法律服務、與客戶聯繫。然而從 2017 年以來，帳號多次遭到平台誤判為假冒 CEO 祖克柏而遭停權，導致業務受阻。 更令他憤怒的是，他在臉書投放超過 1.1 萬美元廣告（約新台幣 35 萬元），即便帳號被封，廣告費用仍照常扣款。「這一點都不好笑，尤其是他們還收了我的錢，真的讓我很生氣。」他在接受當地媒體 13WTHR 採訪時說。 由於名字重疊，這位律師甚至經常接到原本應該打給 Meta CEO 的電話與私訊，內容五花八門，從騷擾、勒索，到死亡威脅都有。他苦笑著表示，「年輕又更有錢的那個祖克柏，幾乎每天都讓我頭痛。」 Meta：我們知道不只一個 Mark Zuckerberg 對於這起荒謬卻真實的案例，Meta 向媒體回應表示：「我們知道世界上不止一個 Mark Zuckerberg，正在查清事情的真相。」但具體如何解決，Meta 目前尚未給出方案。 這起官司凸顯了 Meta 在帳號審查與內容管理上的老問題： 過度依賴自動化：演算法容易誤判，尤其在遇到「特殊案例」時缺乏彈性。 申訴管道不透明：許多用戶被封後，即使申訴也難以獲得人工審核。 收費與服務脫鉤：即便廣告主遭到誤判停權，費用仍會被扣除，讓人質疑公平性。 專家認為，這不只是一起趣味新聞，更可能在法律層面逼迫 Meta 重新檢討帳號管理與客戶保護政策。 當科技巨頭遇上「重名」…
