Facebook is suing Mark Zuckerberg. That sentence makes simply no sense right Right. With the exception that it simply you are true. Kind of. Obviously Facebook isn't suing this is own Mark Zuckerberg, but instead a different one located in Israel.
Based on Israeli site, Holes within the Internet, Rotem Guez, an Israeli entrepreneur has legally transformed his title to Mark Zuckerberg after being hit having a suit through the social media giant. Sure, there has to be many people wishing they were Zuckerberg, but Guez isn t one of these.
Everything allegedly began when Rotem Guez required Facebook to the court in The month of january 2011 because they�were reluctant to come back his compromised Facebook profile with no apparent, legitimate reason.

On September 1, 2011, Facebook, corporation. as well as their lawyer Perkins-Coie , sent Mr. Guez (in exchange) a revengeful threat of the suit, declaring that Mr. Guez and Like Store violated Facebook s TOS by selling marketers Fans for his or her Fan Pages , and mentioned that only Facebook, Corporation. can offer this type of service. Facebook, Corporation. required that Mr. Guez close his company and not access Facebook s site, services, platform or network unconditionally whatsoever.
Based on a cease-and-desist letter from Facebook s a lawyer, Perkins-Coie, Guez s site violates Facebook s terms by declaring that it may increase the amount of Likes a Facebook page can receive.
The letters from Perkins-Coie asked for that Guez adhere to the requirements, first by September 15, 2011, after which it they extended the deadline to December 19, 2011. The requirements were that Guez and the affiliate marketers make sure they:
1. Have stopped and won't later on access Facebook s site, services, platform, or network unconditionally whatsoever.
2. Have stopped and can avoid developing, marketing, selling, offering, and/or using websites or programs, including although not restricted to world wide web.like-store.info and that i-share.co.il, that sell Likes, incentive Facebook customers to like any page or website in order to use Facebook social channels.
3. Have stopped and won't later on mislead Facebook customers and
4. Have removed references to Facebook from the websites or any other marketing material that you simply control, including although not limited to�www.like-store.info and that i-share.co.il.
In December, Guez is stated to possess legally transformed his title to Mark Zuckerberg, with no understanding of his family or buddies, based on The spanish language daily�El Mundo. Also it didn t happen without what seems to become a great deal of resistance for Israeli authorities, as possible observed in the recording below:
1 week later, Guez (now formally Zuckerberg are you currently confused yet ) received another letter from Facebook.
On December 14, 2011, only one week after Mr. Guez officialy grew to become Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Corporation. again sent a threat of the suit, being unsure of that this time around, they're thinking about suing Mark Zuckerberg.
Guez/Zuckerberg presently has, in most irony, a Facebook page up known as I m Mark Zuckerberg�which presently has over 3,000 likes, however it remains to appear whether Facebook will require it lower.
Both video and also the images published on Guez s Facebook page using what he claims are legal documents showing that he's now formally Mark Zuckerberg haven't been verified.
The Following Web spoke to Israel-based entrepreneur Benjamin Lang�to discover a bit more concerning the local a reaction to Guez s decision to legally change his title. As the story has developed in the local media, Lang states it appears to become simply a media stunt, that is harming Israel along the way.
Lang also pointed towards the questionable tactics that Guez utilized on his website, turning to junk e-mail as a way of growing Facebook Page likes.
Lang s outlook for Guez is simply dismal. Rather than coping with legal stuff, he s just looking to get more attention that is harming him. Hopefully the actual Mark Zuckerberg has got the energy to prevent this since it s absurd and embarrassing with this fake guy.
We've approached Facebook s a lawyer Perkins-Coie for any discuss this story, and therefore are ongoing to ensure the claims from the recently-minted Mr. Zuckerberg.�We will update this story with any information once we receive it.
