wait... there's talk of breaking up tech companies, and a tech company immediately after decides to prominently brand itself on all its (nearly) monopolistic empires?
The assumption is that they are attempting to get ahead of any potential criticism by regulators regarding it being unclear that Facebook owns these brands. It's probably not a consumer-driven decision.
Right but I think the issue would then be that if more people became aware FB owns all these brands, there might be an even larger voter push to get them to be broken up, whereas right now people don't know and this care.
that doesn't seem like smart business to me?
