The new Zuckerberg, born Rotem Guez, legally changed his name December 7. Zuckerberg II's website, MarkZuckerbergOfficial.com, states that he first filed a lawsuit against Facebook in January, after the social network refused to give him access to his profile, which it had shut down.
Zuckerberg (all further mentions refer to the Israeli entrepreneur) co-founded Like Store, a social marketing company, which sells companies Likes for their brand pages. The site states (translated), "Are you sad no one's visiting your Facebook Page? We have a solution! Need 1,000 Likes? We'll get them for you. Need 5,000 Likes? We'll get them for you. Need 10,000 Likes? We'll get them for you."
In September, Facebook's law firm Perkins Coie threatened to sue against Zuckerberg, claiming the Like Store violated the social network's Terms of Service, by selling brands fans. The threat instructed Zuckerberg to shut his company and never return to the social network for any reason. (MORE)
