Facebook is changing its company name as it shifts its focus to the 'metaverse' and confronts wide-ranging scrutiny of the real-world harms from its various platforms after a whistleblower leaked hundreds of internal documents.

"metaverse" and confronts wide-ranging scrutiny of the real-world harms from its various platforms after a whistleblower leaked hundreds of internal documents.

A rebranding could be part of an effort to overhaul Facebook's reputation and turn the page following a series of PR nightmares, including misinformation on its platforms, content moderation failures and revelations about the negative effect its products have on some users' mental health. "Today we're seen as a social media company," he added,"but in our DNA, we are a company that builds technology to connect people. And the metaverse is the next frontier just like social networking was when we got started."

When asked by The Verge if he would remain CEO at Facebook in the next 5 years, he said:"Probably. I don't have a specific date how long I want to be doing this for. I guess what I could say is I'm very excited about the next chapter of what we're doing." "We live for what we're building," Zuckerberg added."And while we make mistakes, we keep learning and building and moving forward."
