Classic Facebook douchebaggery.
I saw this weird panel for a famous university (can't remember which one) that interviewed Mark's wife. She said that they run by everything past Mark for final sign off and also he comes up with a lot of the ideas. This smells like a Mark's own original idea.
Looks like it's his only original idea.
I mean, it is a very descriptive name for a social media commenting app. Im not surprised he went with it.
He didn't go with it, he stole it, lol.
Didn't they do the same thing to Meta? Aren't they being sued now?
