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.

    I don't think anyone but Google itself takes the name "Alphabet" seriously, either.

    Alphabet owns Google, Google isn't alphabet per se.
