Not to be confused with the movie of the same name that, unlike Meta's service, made me a miserable drunk

Even the name Meta was trademarked by others and they paid a lot for the rights to use it

Yeah. The group making billions in profit every quarter is sure getting their ass kicked. Facebook is dying too, right?

I don't like Meta, but this is fucking ridiculous. You can't just trademark a word.
