@stux yea they own the domain name, not the trademark.
@freemo I'm not surprised to be honest 
Hope this is gonna turn against them 
@stux not surprising in the least. Normally they are the ones owning a trademark and then suing everyone out of existance. now the tables are turned and if they can just ignore the same sort of trademark they would abuse it would be very telling
@freemo Reminds me of that time Apple Computer assured Apple Records they'd *never* be in a competing business so why not let us use the name?
Facebook already looks either like fools or unabashed bullies thinking they can take the name by force.
@freemo I've read that this claim is sketchy, like this domain was only created 3 days ago or something. So I'm kinda taking this with a grain of salt.
@trinsec yea i have been unable to verify it
@trinsec that said i would expect that facebook bought every domain TLD with meta in it that was open. So seems unlike the domain was bought after facebook changed its name.
@freemo Isn't it then kind of dangerous to spread this image without being sure whether this is correct?
@trinsec Not really, why would it be? it is just a copy of the https://meta.company site. So it clearly isnt a fabrication in terms of meta having written it.
Also I checked the whois and meta.company has been registered by the same person for a while now since 2014-03-18 00:49:06 UTC
@freemo Oh I'm sure meta company wrote this, in fact that's their whole site. Only, is their claim true? Our is this sensationalist clickbait from them? There's not much to go by.
@trinsec Who knows. But I am not liable for if they make shit up. I am just sharing their claim, and they at a minimum have the domain since 2014 so seems reasonable they are telling the truth. Beyond that its not my responsibility to play detective.
Taking it with a grain of salt is of course a good move, im doing the same.
@freemo Yup, that kind of sketchiness. I couldn't care any bit about meta company in this case.
@freemo What does this meta company do though?
@xarvos No idea, as best I can tell they were on the verge of releasing their new product right before FB entered the scene.
@freemo if they’re not a tech company it’s not trademark infringement, and considering their limited information I doubt they’re even a real company.

@freemo
Feels a bit weird to me to end a letter like this with links to their FB and Insta profiles.
@stardenver haha yea :)
@freemo They also don't have the meta account on Instagram. Just imagine how much you could sell such an account...
@barefootstache Its clear they arent a company with any large momentum. If it has employees at all its likely a small handful. They have not released any products and may just be a company of 1 person. None of this would make their claim to a trademark any less factual however if they registered it.
@freemo Maybe FB and Trump should do something together since they fail on their own miserably
I saw they did bought meta.com
