Facebook Revokes Vanity URL & Gives It Back
January 26, 2 CommentsHarmon Bajwa woke up one morning to find a message from Facebook stating that his URL had been revoked on allegations of a policy violation.
The revocation came after a message from Bajwa International stating that the company had filed a complaint with Facebook and that they were willing to buy the URL from him. Apparently, even though Facebook holds the right to revoke any custom username, Mr. Bajwa was apparently not breaching any of Facebook’s policies.
Facebook has since apologized for the “overzealous” steps stating that the revocation was done purely on trademark protection grounds and not monetary ones.

Spot on. Social media should be on your own domain and distributed via social network channels. Social network usernames are at a very high risk chance of being taken off you.
