Man Changes Name to "Mark Zuckerberg" After Facebook Sues Him
An anonymous reader writes "This has to be the funniest Facebook name story in a while. Facebook disabled the account of Israeli entrepreneur Rotem Guez because he runs a business called the Like Store, where he sold Likes to advertisers. Guez countered by suing Facebook for deleting his accounts on the social network. Facebook countered with its own cease and desist letter. Guez didn't respond to Facebook's demands. Instead, he legally changed his name to Mark Zuckerberg. 'If you want to sue me, you're going to have to sue Mark Zuckerberg,' Guez reportedly told Facebook."
I don't see how he thinks by changing his name is going to have any affect on Facebook's legal people.
Advertising. If it wasn't for the name change no one would have heard about the lawsuit and no one would have gave a shit if they did hear.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
Is how I'd name them, except it wouldn't really be fair to honest parasites and vermin.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Yeah this poor spammer got his account deleted. Oh the horror!
Sure he's a spammer, but I think we're ignoring the larger issue here, which is: What the hell is this guy smoking and how can I get some?
Cool art gallery, if you're into that sort of thing.
Yeah. It reminds me of the spammers who threaten to sue Google, after Google bitchslaps them into irrelevance.
There are many perfectly legitimate reasons to dislike Google (most of them linked to Eric Schmidt's PR blunders) and Facebook, but when spammers with an entitlement complex sue them, I'm certainly not going to root for the spammer or criticize Google/Facebook.
And this deserves to be modded up.
