Well, yes some people do not pay attention because they have lives and don't sit around keeping track of companies playing little games. Plenty of people don't know xfinity is comcast. Companies do it cause they know it works for at least a portion of the population. The name has become actually kinda funny though, seeing how badly they botched the metaverse thing at this point. However, I choose to use the old name in a derogatory and disrespectful fashion. =b

It's not valid name. They named the company Facebook? yes. Did that company get taken over by a company named meta? No, they just decided that people hated them and wanted to make people call them something different.

It wasn't some kind of merger where one company is bigger than the other and they have to pick the bigger name... Facebook was the big name. They should be able to make child companies.. but Facebook is the main company. Under normal context a company can rename itself.

It is an ongoing attempt at misdirecting criticism then it is entirely valid for the public to stick to company name that earned it the bad reputation. If I need to be specific for like legal reasons, I'll refer to them as "Facebook's parent company... also known as Facebook".

Facebook FTFY

Good call, comrade! He certainly doesn't look like a man that is baffled, realizing what little disagreement/questioning it takes to be removed from the chamber. He just is being escorted to a more comfortable chair in a cozy reeducation retirement center befitting the dignity of his station. The guardian is trying to make the all the inhabitance of the hundred Acre Wood have hurt fee fees and it's unacceptable!

You clearly don't understand how much money these companies have. It's less than 2% of their profits from last year.. People seem to think these businesses could roll up by tomorrow if a bad enough news article is published. Facebook could turn out to have been manufacturing sarin gas and they would figure out how to get out of it with a small fine and no admission of wrongdoing. The company is too big and needs to be broken up.
