Image
Summary: Shagbook is accusing Facebook of trademark bullying, says the term facebook is generic, and is even arguing that Facebooks trademark should never have been granted.

The study undertaken by Monica Whitty and Tom Buchanan, psychologists at the Universities of Leicester and Westminster, is probably the first formal academic analysis of the pervasive scam.
