This isn't even the first time this has happened. Remember when they renamed Libra? I think they just assume it doesn't matter, and if it does, the settlement will be a blip. It doesn't always work out that way for them.
The company was founded on it. It was "thefacebook.com" for years as it fought to get the domain name without "the". (Also, there were lots of face books at the time. Claiming "The" was a wild hair that also seemed to win PR for them.)
I'm just more surprised they didn't just buy out the company outright. That used to be Microsoft's thing...why bother, if I can just "embrace and extinguish" them?

Yeah, they keep forgetting they still have to follow the law, because society hasn't yet collapsed into a cyberpunk dystopia where big corporations are totally above it.
