Chan Zuckerberg Initiative sunsetting science research platform meta.org
If it isn't clear, they acquired the Meta.com and trademarks in 2017 with their non profit: <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/23/chan-zuckerberg-initiative-meta/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/23/chan-zuckerberg-initiative...</a><p>And today we see the domain points directly to their for-profit company which they may not have paid a "fair" price. I'm sure it wasn't so clearly planned, but it certainly seems like a conflict of interest.<p>These types of domains can go for 6+ figures which seems like a drop in the bucket for Facebook.<p>EDIT: I was mistaken. As several pointed out - The initiative is not a non profit at all. The domain is more of an opportunistic move.<p>I'm still not sure how happy I would be if my company was acquired with the promise of "making my research search engine free to all" only to be shutdown down and used to help Facebook PR problems and market cap 4 years later.
