>A company or individual putting “Facebook” or “Instagram” in their domain name without Facebook’s authorization would constitute trademark infringement.
That is not true in the US.
A trademark consists of both a name and the goods/services which a company provides under that name. If you use the trademarked name in a completely different industry or context from the entity which registered the mark, you aren't infringing on it.
So if you had a business selling...I dunno, physical books made out of faces, then you might be able to use "Facebook" without infringing.
In practice, Facebook could spend enough money to convince the legal system that they are right, but merely having some letters in a domain name does not imply infringement.
