No. Facebook is still Facebook.
More like still referring Alphabet as Google.
I also find it fascinating how one person can buy the communication platform 450 million people use, only for him to change it for the worst. And somehow all users should go along with it.
- rascul 3y ago> No. Facebook is still Facebook. > More like still referring Alphabet as Google. Facebook and Google are still the products. Meta and Alphabet are the parent company names. So it's not wrong. I don't know what X is supposed to be.
- captaincaveman 3y agoA publicity stunt?
- afiori 3y agoProbably more of a narcissistic mistake.
- DistractionRect 3y agoTheir point stands, as almost no one refers to Alphabet as such. Google is almost exclusively used when referring to the company. People that work for Alphabet? Googlers, who will all tell you they work for Google Killed by alphabet? Nope, https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/ Waymo, formerly the Google Self-Driving Car Project. Etc. Frankly, the only time I hear about Alphabet, is in relation to stock price news, nevermore.
- nrabulinski 3y agoTo be fair google is a sub-company which does own (and subsequently kill) most of the products, not alphabet itself

- salawat 3y agoNo one is forcing you to use it. You can roll your own at your leisure. In fact, everyone probably should if for no other reason than to ensure such communication platforms remain as neutral as possible.
- matthewdgreen 3y agoSoftware is cheap, but communities built on the platform are hard to replace. That’s precisely why Musk paid $44b for it instead of $44m.
