This is false.

Facebook owns their own registrar which is used for their domain.

(Source: I built the domain registrar at Squarespace and know the folks who built it at fbook.)

This should not be on HN, it’s literal spam.

Well, ok, not real news - perhaps changing the title to "Facebook.com is wrongly listed as available for purchase by registrar" would be fitting -

but the fact that it is listed is in itself curious and may give raise to fruitful discussion (as in - why? Folks have already answered here in other comment chains)

Not to mention that it was momentarily amusing to ponder how lucky I am to not be the hypothetical guy responsible for renewing that domain
