It’s like whoever is offering up these names and convincing them to use them is trying to tell consumers and workers something in the countries they work and operate. That a rental service is literally named Hertz is pretty on the nose even without all the movie culture references.

When runaway capitalism is the norm and all the shareholders care about is that bottomline, then they will lean into the dystopia and be blatant about it when nobody is stopping them laughing all the way to the bank.

Who is accessing the cables/data has never been more important, it’s literally the difference between being in or out of reach of the law.

Services are free on the internet because people pay with their attention and data instead. A single user is much more valuable than you think, especially the recurring ones.
