I recently registered 'twitbook.uk' when the .uk TLD opened for general registrations, with the intention of running a satirical social network that would blatantly ask for personal information, allow open bidding to access the data, and provide features such as 'make me angry' or 'validate my opinions'. Just for fun of course, no real information would be solicited or sold.
I wonder if such a site would be considered a violation of this trademark, were it to be granted.

- ksangeelee 7y agoIt's hard to say, since this is really just scratching an itch. It'll be on GitHub as soon as the first meaningful version is available, contributions will be welcome.
