馬克祖克柏提告馬克祖克柏,同名律師FB帳號遭Meta誤判多次停權 | 4Gamers

馬克祖克柏提告馬克祖克柏,同名律師FB帳號遭Meta誤判多次停權 | 4Gamers

Credit : Meta   美國印第安納州一名專門處裡破產事務的律師馬克.S.祖克柏(Mark S. Zuckerberg),因臉書(Facebook)帳號屢次遭系統以「冒充知名人物」為由封禁,他近日向 Meta 公司提民事訴訟,指控 Meta 疏失與違反使用者協議讓他損失逾萬美元。   根據當地新聞網站報導,馬克祖克柏 9 月 2 日向馬里恩高等法院遞交訴狀,其個人臉書帳號在過去 8 年中被停權 5 次,他的律師事務所粉專也至少被下架 4 次。最近一次發生在今年 5 月,讓他超過 1.1 萬美元的廣告費用付諸流水,還嚴重影響與客戶的溝通。   「這一點也不好笑,尤其是當他們拿走我的錢時,這真的讓我非常火大!」祖克柏接受專訪時表示。他強調自己中間名是 Mark Steven,而 Meta 執行長是 Mark Elliot,「系統卻一直把我當成冒充名人。」   Credit: WTHR,Indianapolis attorney Mark S. Zuckerberg   祖克柏透露,FB 每一次被停權的理由都是「冒充名人或使用假名」,他必須不斷提交駕照、信用卡等證件,等待數月才有機會恢復帳號,「上次甚至花了超過半年才解封」。   祖克柏形容這種情況就像「花錢買高速公路邊的廣告看板,結果業者在上面蓋了一張大布,讓你白白浪費錢」,他聲稱這種不公平的待遇已經嚴重傷害到他的執業。   祖克柏表示,他其實不想跟 Meta 打官司:「他們錢更多、律師更多、資源更多,我寧可不與他們為敵。但我不知道還有什麼方法能讓他們停止這樣的錯誤。」   律師祖克柏透過訴狀要求 Meta 歸還廣告費、支付律師費,並下達禁令防止未來再度發生誤停帳號,「如果我不覺得會贏,我就不會提告。」  …

律師「祖克柏」狀告 Meta,八年以來因同名遭 Facebook 誤封五次、花錢買了廣告也沒用

律師「祖克柏」狀告 Meta,八年以來因同名遭 Facebook 誤封五次、花錢買了廣告也沒用 | T客邦

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」…
