With video of him asking to change his name!
=====================================
Facebook is suing Mark Zuckerberg. No, I’m not talking about Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. I’m talking about Rotem Guez, an Israeli entrepreneur who reportedly changed his name to Mark Zuckerberg after Facebook hit him with a lawsuit. “If you want to sue me, you’re going to have to sue Mark Zuckerberg,” Guez reportedly told Facebook. Talk about a publicity stunt.

Guez is currently in a legal dispute with Facebook. As you can see in the video above (via HolesNet), which looks like it was filmed by Guez himself, the man has legally changed his name to Mark Zuckerberg. It appears his main goal is to see if Facebook will continue to threaten and sue Mark Zuckerberg in spite of the publicity. He thinks he stands more of a chance as a Zuckerberg than a Guez.
The name change is only a recent episode as part of a much bigger saga. It all started when Guez launched Like Store, which sells advertisers Likes for their Pages. Like Store promises to give companies a boost in traffic by offering Facebook users free content only if the Like a given company’s Page. Since this is in violation of Facebook’s terms of service (TOS, or Statement of Rights and Responsibilities), the social networking giant wants to shut it down. Guez has acknowledged that the Like Store violates Facebook’s TOS but he claims many US companies offer similar services.
