A company or individual putting “Facebook” or “Instagram” in their domain name without Facebook’s authorization would constitute trademark infringement.

Pretty sure this lawsuit is just Facebook doing what they’re supposed to do to “protect” their trademarks.

When you have a trademark, you’re obligated — by law — to attempt to protect it in cases of seeming infringement. If you don’t, you lose the power of the trademark.
