While I agree, no one should be behind this shit company, it's quite a standard thing to do.
Literally every social media platform has the ability to reset a users username so they can free it up. It happens all the time.
Are you famous enough? Cool, contact any company about taking over the username "Jake" and they'll give you it. Doesn't matter that the other dudes name is Jake. Doesn't matter they had it first. Doesn't matter that it isn't a trademarked name.
It didn’t work for Beyoncé. She tried to take the brand, Blu Ivy off an Australian company so her daughter could have it. Australia said get fucked.
An American wedding planner also had the name, and America told Beyoncé to get fucked too.
You don't have a legal right to demand it.
But the platform can just give it to you as they see fit.
Just look at what happened to Jake from state farm. They even took the man's khakis.
