    Okay, pointing out the analogy of "Imagine if I created a product called Google and tried to sue Google for it [...] Well, that’s what Facebook is doing" doesn't match this situation.

      Facebook created a product called Threads and is attempting to bully Threads Software into taking their name. I was creating a hypothetical situation about how most small companies can’t just steal a company trademark, because it’s rightfully someone else’s. However, if you have enough money and shit ethics, then you can just kinda… ignore that, and for some reason, the US is happy to let wallets write the law.

      They did this with Meta, too.

        I agree, that is what they're doing. My only point was they're being sued, not suing someone. They just took the name and were ignoring the other company that was already using it.

      I think the part that is missing is “imagine if I were a billion dollar company and I…”
