    Just like Meta is a stolen name. Facebook doesn’t care.

      That’s why the UK company is using a cease-and-desist approach, which apparently is an option in the UK.

      Absolutely zero care. Too much money gushing in.

        I’d just sue em for a bunch of money and then license the name to them for a bunch more, and the website for a bunch more…

              Only if the lawyer is convinced they can win it.
