Starting to wonder if the name became "Meta" so that the headlines wouldn't read "Class action suit filed against Facebook" or "Scandal involving Facebook".
Mark Zuckerberg is the head of the world's most mundane tech company at the moment, so he changed the name and the focus of the company to try and dig out of this hole.

How effective can such a thing be? Aren't they using the Meta keyword on all of their products now? As well as the fact it was likely all over the news, globally.
The headline didn't mention facebook, did it?
Though you have a point, I know a lot of people who don't know that Alphabet is the parent of Google.

Between the UN fact-finding mission saying Facebook played a “determining role” in the genocide, the Bosworth memo, and the shit ton of access we now have thanks to the whistleblower, how is this not a strong case?

Why should we send American kids to die in Burma? To look tough? To redeem the “western world”? What happens after? Are we really liberating Burma for its own purpose, or just establishing American military bases in close proximity to China? It’s these kinds of neo-colonialist urges that got us into the messes in Afghanistan and Iraq. We (the US in particular but also NATO as a whole) need to stop running around the…
> To look tough? Yes, if enemies think you are not tough, you get intimidated, humiliated, and then ultimately attacked. > To redeem the “western world”? Yes, to reverse the 20 years of disgrace, and regain the mandate of righteousness. Without righteousness, you can't do anything well as a united Western bloc — a raison d'etre for the entire post-war Western political system.
