Hi David,

Booking.com, Zalando, app stores and AliExpress make even stranger bedfellows in that list, and yet here we are!

It wasn't unexpected, though; it follows on from the userbase estimates we posted back in Feb. [1]

This was raised overnight on a parallel mailing list [2], and I just posted a fuller answer there - perhaps a bit too lengthy to reproduce here, though?

In any case, a Diff post is in the works.

In the same category as Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, TikTok ...

On the face of it, this seems a miscategorisation. However, the
recommendations aren't *bad*, and they're stuff we basically do anyway
- though through volunteer editors, not the Foundation.

The main nuisance will be a report as if we're Facebook.

How are we approaching this one?
