In this regard, the Respondent is in no way connected with the Complainant and has no
authorization to use any of the Complainant’s trademarks. The disputed domain name resolves to a fake
Facebook login page, apparently to obtain the user’s Facebook login details.
There is no evidence on record that the Respondent is or was commonly known by the disputed domain
name as an individual, business, or other organization.
...Registered and Used in Bad Faith
Use of a domain name containing a trademark in relation to a fake Facebook web page may constitute
evidence of bad faith registration and use. Here, the use by the Respondent of the confusingly similar
Domain Name to point to fake Facebook page appears intended to attract Internet users to unlawfully obtain
Internet user’s data, and as such constitutes registration and use in bad faith.

被投诉人
该域名分为两部分：Tencent+Meta。投诉人认为 Tencent 是他的所有权，那么她为什么不认为"META"是FACEBOOK 的所有权呢。
本人抢注域名只是为猜测 facebook 改名的方向，并顺手注册了该域名，并没有使用和和进行其他活动！也没有对 Tencent 公司和 META 公司造成任何损失！
所以本人认为 Tencent teams 应该在市场上买入和取得 FACEBOOK 的书面授权。...但是没有技术公司这样去做（包含腾讯域名注册平台）。
与恶意注册没有任何关系；是猜测 FACEBOOK 域名的全球市场行为。在附件中提供注册其他域名的先后顺序：即 Facebook 公布之前我已经申请其他域名，比如 ZALO META.COM(注册日期为 10/27)。

Rather, the use of the disputed domain name to mimic a Facebook login page is clearly a scam designed to mislead Internet users into providing their personal account information which could be used to their detriment.
...The Panel is satisfied that the Respondent, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant and its trademark INSTAGRAM, deliberately registered and used the disputed domain name to attract Internet users to its website with a view to commercial gain, namely obtaining users’ personal Facebook account information. Since Instagram is owned by Facebook, it is not inconceivable that Internet users would be tricked into entering their login details, believing that access to the Instagram badge service required them to login in to their Facebook account, which is a common method of registering for and logging in to different services. ...
