I don't like Meta, but this is fucking ridiculous. You can't just trademark a word.
Yes you can, that is the definition of what a trademark is.
Could you imagine 20 different brands of Coke on the shelf?
The usage is specific to a market, however. For example, Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets. Both trademark "Delta."
Ever been to the south? Coke is literally the term for all soda. Can I get an orange coke?
