    Anyone else thinks it’s funny that journalist always have to explain/describe what Meta is? Be it the parent company of Facebook, Whatsapp or Instagram.

      I’m glad they do. Meta’s name change shouldn’t free them from the reputation they earned with facebook. Pin the old name to them whenever possible.

        I just call them Facebook, like everyone and their mother still calls Google Google. Fuck them thinking they can steal other people’s name and sue them for it.

          What if Zuck comes out of his lizard hole and utters the word:

          FEDIVERSE.

          to proclaim that Meta, formally known as Facebook, is now changing their name to Fedi.

          Funny, I make an effort to call them DoubleClick. We should remember the name of the malicious ad agency, not the indexed search engine.
