IANAL but my understanding is that trademarks are only granted for specific goods and services (particularly for common dictionary words). What goods and services does this company provide?

I am fairly confident that the average user understands that their YouTube, FB, Insta etc usage is funded by targeted ads and doesn't really care. Sure they might not understand the full extent of the targeting but let them learn about

Meta is more open ended than search.com. It could just as easily be a bar or art gallery as a $100 trillion dollar virtual empire. You are right that a great name can only take you so far, ultimately you have to have a competitive product.

I disagree. Alphabet has no clear connection to their current or future business plans. They don't even own alphabet.com. Meta on the other hand is the best possible metaverse name and was announced alongside a $10/billion year VR

Edward Snowden didn't need hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to do the right thing. Of course there should be some kind of compensation for potential loss of income but offering 50-1000x someone's annual income (10-30% o

Is it more of conflict of interest than the whistleblower potentially being entitled to a multi billion dollar commission from the SEC? Because that's barely been mentioned in any of the negative articles. https://www.sec.go

If I want to remit US$100 from the US to someone in El Salvador and they want USD cash, how much is going to be left after all is said and done?

Frances Haugen stands to earn hundreds of millions to billions of dollars from the SEC whistleblower award. That seems relevant to the conversation when she's accusing FB of prioritizing profit over the public good. What are her priori

The floor for random four letter .coms is only around $100 currently. Gail.com would go for 1,000-10,000x that though.

They're not gaslighting. This is about News Corp (former owner of Fox News) and a few other multi billion dollar albeit unprofitable media companies using their political sway to extort Google. It will almost certainly result in a wors

Check out Dropcatch.com, Namejet and GoDaddy Auctions. You can get a decent 4L com for under $1000 if you're patient. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but generally speaking you're going to get a much, much better name by spen
