    We already know there are black markets for usernames on every social media site, so the website stepping in and setting up a regulated marketplace itself is a good idea. There’s no reason a highly coveted username should stay on an account that was registered 10 years ago and has never been used since, or on a banned account.

      Do we?..

      so the website stepping in and setting up a regulated marketplace itself is a good idea.

      Regulated by who?

      If the site can take your account because they want to, what exactly are you buying?
