The word meta predates the company rebrand by decades (first known use 1988). The company is named after the word.
Visio is a totally different situation.

Visio is short for the French word "visio-conférence" and already used as slang for video calls by the French.

Trump just signed an Executive Order saying that France wasn’t allowed to do this.
The sad thing is, you don’t know if that’s true or if I just made that up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did and then whiped his butt with it before flushing it down the toilet just so he can lie about it.

Did Zoom Communications, Inc. bribe Trump? This one flew under my radar, and unfortunately anything I try to search is swamped by news about France's government ditching Zoom.

I see there are various instances being developed. I personally think Mosa.cloud looks very promising.
