If it’s whitelabel, what will Meta do? Start a new company? Inevitably, people would figure it out, and go with something else.

I think what’s more likely to happen than my maximalist argument, is that some existing instances will get direct or indirect funding or other forms of support from Meta, and start influencing their direction.
