Klayman, who heads Freedom Watch Inc., is accusing Zuckerberg of dragging his feet in taking down a Facebook page that called for violence against Jews. The page was eventually removed, but Klayman, who is Jewish, claims the damage was done and that as a public figure he is especially at risk. Noting that Zuckerberg was portrayed in the recent biopic The Social Network as lacking “strong ethical and moral character,” Klayman has accused Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives of purposefully leaving the page up to “boost their revenues” and generate attention. “While Facebook can do a lot of good, it can do a lot of harm,” Klayman said.
Klayman is proceeding in the case pro se. Zuckerberg is being represented by Craig Primis in Kirkland & Ellis‘ Washington office. Neither Primis nor a Facebook representative returned requests for comment.
