I'm so fucking tired of this acceptance people have where they treat Meta and Facebook as separate entities. Where, at one point, it was just one entity called Facebook. Facebook doesn't have a parent company, because it's just Facebook. Meta only came into existence because Mark was forced his hand in some monopoly issue or something.

And big surprise, Facebook dictating who can and can't be on it's platform.

mmm, it'll be a cold day in hell before I call them Meta, it's a very transparent attempt to psychologically reset our opinion of them, as if we're all stupid.

It's insulting how thick they think we are.

They're Facebook. Call yourselves "We didn't do evil stuff we're good guys honest" I still won't believe you ...

It's exactly the same thing with Google. Pretending it has a parent company to give this idea that we're not to blame Google for any of the bad shit it does, let's blame this non-existent entity that Google constructed to take some of the heat off.

Except people don't directly refer to Alphabet or make mention of it as much compared to Meta/Facebook.

They made another kind of guy for you to get really mad at.
