JUST IN: Facebook is changing its company name to Meta as it confronts wide-ranging scrutiny of the real-world harms from its various platforms after a whistleblower leaked hundreds of internal documents.

Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday that Facebook will change its corporate name to Meta, effectively demoting Facebook's namesake service to being just one of the company's subsidiaries, alongside Instagram and WhatsApp, rather than the overarching brand.

"Zuckerberg kicked off a big product event on Thursday by teasing a series of new social, gaming and workplace concepts for the metaverse -- and by acknowledging the optics of focusing on such products amid renewed scrutiny of the company.Mark Zuckerberg's avatar presenting the metaverse at an event Thursday."I know that some people will say that this isn't a time to focus on the future, and I want to acknowledge that there are important issues to work on in the present.

I find it funny since I'm a meta breaker

it's a distraction from his crimes hoping they will just disappear

Not only that, but they want to avoid the European Competition Commission, punish with huge fines for many reasons, and one is cooperation on price.

META. Make Everything Trump Again

Meta propaganda

Changing name won't quash all the wrong doings and controversies involved on earlier named Facebook.Try to become an ethical company with incurring profit fairly.

Me Eating The Ash = META

Mark Zuckerburg is totally a Gabriel AI. He'll never be a William.

We still know who you're?

This is all the news you have 🙄 Not news.

The Super-Wealthy with A Modicum of Conscience, Empathy, Integrity &/or Patriotism Should VOLUNTARILY Step-Up & Contribute Their Fair $hare! After-All, How Much Do You Need to Hoard; as, the Country & Fellow Americans Struggle!?!

That won't help if they're still doing the same things

How is changing the name gonna change anything, but the name?

🙄

Meta data is data about you, not the data of focus. Not a smart move , unless you really are about mining information about people they would not agree to share!

Can I change my name to evade student loans

Mark and facebook refusing to deal with the cluster fuck his site is now.

Still the same progressive democrat company.

Meh

Meta Data Meta Bo'llix to that !

Think Zuckerberg’s wife cut his hair just slaps a bowl on his head look at that haircut

Yep..welcome to the meta verse, just plug in and live in an alternate reality..can you say the Matrix, and in 10 years we may have a Neo to come and save us, but remember while you are plug in, China and Russia ( who are practicing war games together) will take over the world 🌎

Wow I was really hoping for DisinformationBook

And it's still a platform for racists and insurrectionists to spread hate speech and disinformation. DeleteFacebook

Just another leftist movement to destroy our success.

DeleteMeta

What’s about the Logo

“A rebranding could be part of an effort to overhaul Facebook's reputation and turn the page following a series of PR nightmares..” Corporate Executives do this for one reason to save a sinking ship. FACT: This maybe the nail in the coffin for Facebook.

Still greed

How about changing it to MEIN KAMPF

Meta - verse

Figure out a better name. Is this because Metta World Peace changed his name back to Ron Artest?

More like Beta

I hope Ron Artest sues..

Because branding was the problem…

Meta-e

“Meta”😂🤣 In Poland that means “scumhole” 😂🤣😂

So... it's going to be METAbook? Or just META?

Let us not forget this 'Whistle Blower' appeared out of nowhere with a full public relations team, lawyers on retainer, a shiny new blue-check Twitter account. Or her history of running these same ops at several other tech companies. Seems Legit. FrancesHaugen
