> Nobody knows FB owns Instagram. That might have been true at some point - but a combination of their extremely loud rebranding of both to Meta, and the media constantly saying 'Instagram, which is owned by FB' or words to that effect has changed it. Even my elderly parents are aware Instagram is owned by FB / Meta.

I feel like this was done so retail investors would know Instagram was owned by Meta. Not users.

  If that was the case, I wouldn't be greeted by the new Meta logo every time I open the WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook apps.

    That could be because Meta doesn't have the same negative connotation FB does.
