    I wish users did that more often. Is there any reason to say “Meta” instead of “Facebook”?

      Well it makes sense when referring to the company because they own a bunch of popular brands like Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. Twitter just has Twitter so it doesn’t matter as much.

        I don’t understand. What’s does saying “Meta owns WhatsApp” do which saying “Facebook owns WhatsApp” does not do? A disadvantage is my non-tech literate coworkers and family probably wouldn’t know what I’m talking if I said Meta.
