GAFAM

GAFAM is an acronym that refers to five major US technology companies: Google (now Alphabet), Apple, Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, and Microsoft.

Looked it up so no one else had to!

So the acronym is now AMAMA!

I guess the new acronym should be MAAAM

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I prefer AMAMA.

US used to call it FAANG (but then there's been a bunch of renames)
