That sounds ridiculous. They have the facebook trademark protection, and that's pretty much what they can enforce. And even that's sometimes not enough to enforce a wide range exclusivity. For instance, titles of books can contain the word facebook, and can only be prevent a publisher from using the facebook logo on the cover, but screenshots on the inside pages containing it should be publishable. Afaik all the evicted antisemitic groups could form a social network called hatebook, and they wouldn't be infringing if they used a different typeface and overall identity. IANAL, but trademark law is pretty straightforward. This reminds me of http://www.eolas.com/ http://www.eolas.com/, got to love how they troll about their (e) trademark and all the software patents.
