Reply to comment by [deleted] in Facebook Parent Meta Fined $276 Million in Europe for Data-Scraping Leak by bubblehack3r

When Facebook expanded to other things beyond social media and advertising, they started managing all that under the parent company of Meta. They're separate legal entities because they are responsible for different things. Both entities are failing.

They are definitely not separate legal entities. All the apps + VR are housed under the company Meta.

They definitely are separate legal entities. Meta is the umbrella company for Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram

Meta Platforms LLC is the one and only entity - Facebook, etc are absolutely not separately operating companies. They are organizations under Meta.

Honestly how can you think that a company as large as Meta only has one legal entity? I think we are saying the same thing but yoh are misunderstanding what a legal entity is maybe?
