    You didn’t mention Facebook? That’s super dystopian to me. What’s a face book if not a large collection of identities being monitored?

      Well, historically (and I mean in the 1990s) it was a collection of names and photographs of all the new students at your college, to help in meeting people and/or to see who’s hot.

        Yes ofc, I just think the name Facebook is more dystopian than Meta.
