What goes under “hostile uses”? Would people be confused if I made “facebook-sucks.com”? Because if you let something like this through, Facebook has an incentive to go after things like that…

I did a bit of research on this when I started killedbygoogle.com . It’s fine to use a trademark when it is being used for criticism, parody, or other creative work. It’s not okay to use for impersonation, fraud, or other commercial purposes that mislead consumers to believe an endorsement or association with the trademark’s owner.
