Social media company goes on a defensive domain registration binge.
Facebook has registered over 500 domain names related to Covid-19 for its Facebook and Instagram brands.
The company registered the domain names yesterday as the platforms come under fire for spreading false information about the novel coronavirus and resulting disease.
The defensive domain name registrations cover multiple variations of its brands plus the words coronavirus and Covid-19. They also cover multiple top level domain names.
For example, Facebook registered “facebook-coronavirus-info” in .com, .net and .org. Other variations include facebook-covid-19-support.tld, facebook-informationcovid.tld, and instagramcovid-19.tld.
A list of 500 of the domain names is in the table below. DomainTools recorded 530 registrations yesterday, and these don’t appear to include the .org versions of the domains that Facebook registered. Therefore, the list is larger than the data I have.

What a waste of money. They should donate these funds instead to the poor and affected by the virus.
