Comment on Google, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft Weave a Fiber-Optic Web of Powerparent

They use this phrasing in the article text:

"four tech giants— Microsoft, Google parent Alphabet, Meta (formerly Facebook ) and Amazon"

So I guess the distinction in their eyes is that Facebook renamed itself whilst Google sold itself to a parent company? Can someone chime in on the legal entities and mechanics used for the two?

Google LLC is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. Don’t know about Facebook/Meta though

Facebook was a straight rename to Meta, no parent company or anything.
