What trolling is Facebook doing? I haven't heard of any and would be interested in seeing the kinds of suits they are filing.
(Note: I consider trolling different from a company protecting the IP used to build its business, and I think most would agree with that, even if they don't support patents [which I generally don't].)

You don't even see Microsoft suing every company with "micro" or "soft" in their name, because that would be ridiculous.
- phwd 15y agoIf you are referring to Lamebook, Facebook issued the cease and desist. Lamebook was the first to sue. It is clear that Facebook is targeting how the term is used _in relation_ to their company. Lamebook knows that.
- dstein 15y agoWhether or not it's in their legal right to sue, I vehemently oppose activity of this nature, and reiterate that they absolutely deserve having the law similarly turned against them.
