It seems they're effectively giving it to Meta.com for free, by shuttering the similarly named site. The reasoning makes sense, but it's too convenient. I'm sure they got advice from lawyers though. They have plenty.
Eventually meta.org will probably be sold to meta.com, but the price will be lower because it isn't in use.

- benatkin 5y agoThat's why I said "advice from lawyers" and not "legal advice". It isn't about following the law but managing the consequences.

- twobitshifter 5y agoMeta.com was already owned by CZI. I wonder how much Facebook paid to the CZI for the domain? I assume they’ll also have to pay for meta.org.
