I agree it’s not the most important issue regarding Meta, and I don’t think there’s anything useful that can be done about it now anyway, I just reject the outright dismissal of it as a complete non-issue.
Yes, the company name Meta is relevant to the actual meaning of the prefix “meta-“, as in metaverse, a word coined in 90s sci-fi as a contraction of “meta-universe”, meaning a universe that is not the universe but is “beyond” or “about” it, which is a very reasonable use of the prefix when applied to a virtual world, in line with other uses like metadata (extra data that isn’t “the” data but is “about” it).
