Indiana bankruptcy lawyer Mark Steven Zuckerberg is suing Meta for repeatedly suspending his work-related Facebook account because the social media company apparently believes he’s impersonating company founder Mark Elliot Zuckerberg. “It’s not funny,” he told Indianapolis station WTHR. “Not when they take my money. This really pissed me off.” According to the annoyed attorney, he doesn’t want to sue Meta for negligence and breach of contract, but has run out of options after having his business account suspended five times in eight years – and his personal page shut down nearly as many times. Zuckerberg’s account had been shut down for the past four months when he spoke with WTHR. He’s been accused of “impersonating a celebrity” despite numerous requests for Meta to leave his accounts alone. Meta told WTHR the company is trying to resolve the issue. “We have reinstated Mark Zuckerberg’s account, after finding it had been disabled in error,” Meta said. “We appreciate Mr. Zuckerberg’s continued patience on this issue and are working to try and prevent this from happening in the future.” Zuckerberg said he might consider settling his lawsuit if the billionaire using his name flies to Indianapolis to apologize and lets him spend a

SPRINGFIELD, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Small towns can have a unique vibe. Sometimes, it’s a caring community uplifting other families through the decades. On the negative side, there can be inaccurate gossip or esteemed community members using their influence to their advantage. Springfield business owner William Paulson has seen the best and worst of living in a small South Dakota town. “Third-generation business owner there. So we had to put up with a lot of stuff, and I said, you know, one way we could do this, instead of writing letters to the editor, showing up for public comment, is using like a little Facebook platform,” Paulson explained. The Facebook group, “South Dakota Expose,” was started to shed light on injustices and highlight public documents. “Sheds a light on, you know, who people owe money to. You know, there’s there’s a lot of the same predators in there. You get what I’m saying?” Paulson said. The sheer number of South Dakota bankruptcies shocked him. The hope is that highlighting public documents on an easy-to-view platform could prompt them to rethink their choices.  » Read More

Technically, the poke never really left Facebook. The classic feature from Facebook’s early days lets users get a friend’s attention with a virtual nudge of sorts. While the poke fell out of use ages ago, the company has more recently seen an uptick in its use among younger users, which has now prompted it to make the poke a more central part of the Facebook experience. Now users are able to poke their friends from a new, dedicated button directly on their Facebook profile, which will alert the poke’s recipient through their notifications. In addition, Facebook users can see who poked them and find friends to poke at facebook.com/pokes. On this page, users will be able to track their “poke count” with friends, which grows every time they poke each other. They can also dismiss pokes if they don’t want to reciprocate. Image Credits:Meta (screenshot) (opens in a new window) The poke-tracking feature is largely designed to appeal to younger users who have grown up with gamification elements built into their social apps,  » Read More

Meta has shared its latest EU performance updates for both Facebook and Instagram as part of its DSA reporting obligations, with EU authorities requiring all large online platforms to share regular updates on their total users and content moderation efforts. And the data can provide some interesting trend insights. Like, for example the fact that Instagram is growing at 10x the rate of Facebook in EU. The above charts (Facebook on the left, IG on the right) show how many users each platform has in each EU member state, with Facebook’s total EU usage coming in at 263.6 million monthly actives between January and June 2025, and Instagram reaching 281.8 million MAU in the same period. Which is probably no real surprise. Instagram has had more European users than Facebook for some time, but it is interesting to note the relative growth of each, reflecting their broader popularity in the region. Since March 2024, Facebook’s EU audience has grown 0.65%, while Instagram’s has risen by 6.17%. So not only is Instagram more popular,  » Read More

People reporting their Facebook pages were hacked is a relatively common occurrence. But the victims usually aren’t Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court judges. Judge Scott Mears said his account was compromised over the weekend. A scammer made a post on the judge’s page, claiming his uncle had recently entered an assisted living facility, and that he was selling his personal items. The false post claimed the judge’s uncle suffers from dementia and solicited money for items including vehicles, appliances, exercise equipment and furniture. State police is investigating, the judge said. Requests made directly to Meta, the owners of Facebook, to remove the post has been unsuccessful, he said. “This story is fraudulent and the items listed do not exist,” Mears said in a statement. “I am urging residents to remain vigilant against these types of attacks and to report them to law enforcement immediately. Should anyone receive a friend request from me or a direct message soliciting interest in purchasing items, please do not accept the request and report all such outreach attempts to Meta directly.” Mears has been blocked from access to his Facebook page and can’t delete the posts,  » Read More

RICHMOND, Ky. (LEX 18) — A birthday party that was supposed to be filled with fun, laughter and celebration turned into a 10-year-old boy sitting by the window, waiting for everyone to arrive. When no one showed up to her son Bentley's birthday party, Katie Pierce took matters into her own hands. The mother of the fourth-grader posted to a Richmond Facebook moms group, asking for anyone to come and offering free food and arcade games at Galaxy Bowling Alley. "I was thinking if we could get just one kid to come maybe it would change his day," Pierce said. The community responded in a big way. Paige Kelley, a local mom, saw the post when her mother sent her a screenshot. "My mom came over and was hanging out with us and then she left and a couple hours went by and she sent me the screenshot and I was like, 'We have got to go," Kelley said. Jackie Johnson, another Richmond mother, felt compelled to help after reading Pierce's plea.  » Read More
