Facebook Nazis Muscle Out a Little Man From Iran

Facebook has been buying up all of the domains with the name Facebook. No surprise move but the issue here is that recently according to Mashup.com they went to the UN (yes the United Nations) to get a domain (Facebook.ir) from a guy in Iran that supposedly owned the domain. Unconfirmed reports via Mashups comment section said he was compensated 100€ euros to US currency that’s $142 dollars as I post this. International rates always change.

So Facebook can have free Iran fan pages but at the same time they are using the UN to gangster the little guy for their domain?

Free election but not free to prosper? More disappointing is Mashup.com writer Ben Parr’s  comment where he wrote “There’s really no claim you can make that justifies owning a Facebook domain. Unless, of course, your name is actually Facebook.” Wait one minute Ben I know it is your opinion and I respect that but since when do you need to have a justified reason to own a web domain? You certainly don’t in America or anywhere else for that matter. The only reason I see Facebook doing this in a justified way is if somehow the guy owned the site illegally. But there is no evidence to support that.

UN = Unfair Negotiations

I highly encourage everyone reading this to grab as much Facebook webestate as possible! ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT FROM AMERICA. They wouldn’t have dared pull this on Americans. One of the most uncool things FB has done yet.

PS Facebooknazi.com IS available! The only reason I didn’t grab it is that I am uncomfortable with the “Nazi” word. Even if in this case it doesn’t refer to Germany’s Nazis. Most of you know that I am referring to the hilarious comedy skit created by the Seinfeld show “Soup Nazi”.
