I was surprised to read this definition of "cybersquatting" on Google, which seems to include registering domains for resale by itself rather than just those that infringe on the rights of third parties.

So I went to Google (feedback link at the bottom) and to Oxford Languages (link at the top) and asked for a correction and would encourage you to do the same.

Done, and these "experts" are clearly drooling idiots.

Wikipedia is a lot better, as it doesn't even mention the "reselling at a profit" that the slack-jawed, Reddit-approved Oxford definition is so fixated on:

Cybersquatting is the practice of registering, trafficking in, or using an Internet domain name, with a bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else.
