The name change could be announced this month

Facebook is planning to rebrand the company with a new name to reflect the firm’s shift to building the metaverse, it has been reported., the announcement could be made during Facebook’s Connect conference on October 28.

The social network’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is said to be keen to signal the company’s intent to move beyond just social media and the controversies that have faced the platform in that area. Earlier this year, Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook would transition from a social media company to ‘being a metaverse company’ over the next several years.

The change would not be the first time a big-name technology brand as pivoted as its work changed – in 2015 Google created a new parent company called Alphabet as a way of highlighting it was no longer just a search engine but a broad range of different companies working on smartphones, driverless cars and other technology.

In 2016, Snapchat also renamed itself Snap Inc and expanded from being a photo-sharing app to calling itself a ‘camera company’, then unveiled its first hardware product – the camera-housing Spectacles glasses.

Headbook?

Censorship book.

He can put lipstick on his pig but it’s still a pig. I would call this a cynical attempt at damage limitation for him, his so called “content moderators” and all his minions that do his bidding. What a joke.

This is what could really save them. Because they'll rebrand themselves as a new company. We can't let them get away with it

How about changing to communist book.

Brazenbook? Sounds about right.
