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 are a larger company and, have enough money, and have 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.
