What is the primary intention behind cybersquatting?

To legally develop a website for a charity
To establish a domain name for personal use
To sell a domain name back to a business or celebrity for profit
To create a social media platform

The correct answer is: To sell a domain name back to a business or celebrity for profit

The primary intention behind cybersquatting is to acquire a domain name with the aim of selling it back to a business, organization, or celebrity for a profit. This occurs when an individual registers a domain name that is similar or identical to a trademarked name or a well-known brand, anticipating that the rightful owner will want to reclaim the domain and is willing to pay a premium for it. This practice takes advantage of the brand's recognition and goodwill, as the original trademark owner may be interested in obtaining their domain to protect their brand and prevent consumer confusion. Other options do not align with the concept of cybersquatting. Developing a website for a charity or establishing a domain for personal use does not involve leveraging trademarked names for profit. Similarly, creating a social media platform is unrelated to the practice of registering domain names with the intent of reselling them for a higher price. Thus, option C accurately reflects the motivations behind cybersquatting.
