Facebook Is Now Called Meta

Facebook has changed its name to Meta and unveiled a new logo. “The metaverse is the next frontier,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a presentation at Facebook’s Connect conference, held virtually on Thursday. “From now on, we’re going to be metaverse-first, not Facebook-first.”

Lol this is the beginning of a super-villain movie.

[JohnJr]

Never meta creepier dude. Facebook is bad for society because of the slimy way this guy runs his company. Changing the name is, most likely, not going to change things for the better.

[Cwtr]

Looks like the lizard has a new update, but some flaws are still remaining

[doorswhofan]

Call it whatever you want: It still sucks, and I don't use it, and never will.

[cloakofanonymity]

Selfiebook, Meta, call it whatever you want. It still sucks.

[roccigiovanniberrini]

its creepy how realistic this robot is

[BoyFromMa]

Dude is literally paying a hand-gestures-coach... Can't believe that's a real job 🤣

[stevemcdonald]

It's like when your landlord replaces the carpet, paints the hallways and changes the name of the building right after a triple murder in the lobby.

"we're the biggest product in the history of the world, and that isn't big enough"- Zuck

[rwdplz]

Translation: "You people dragged Facebook's name through the mud. I was THIS CLOSE to world domination! Now we have to re-brand like Comcast! Thanks a lot, jerks!"

[Sam-rbsj]

Who told him to do that with his hands? He’s even more awkward.

[bazoutofhell]

That Zuckercyborg dude looks like a bad cgi. Why didn't he just call it LIE, now that would be much closer to the truth.

[SmackWaterMack]

Facebook is a huge downfall of the intelligence of this country.

[TheCupiedoll]

Is this how they're dodging being called a monopoly by splitting in two? C'mon.

[_sparrowhawk]

LOL at the idea that Zuck ever studied any classics

[rickabbott]

'garbage' is called by any other name. It's still garbage.

[baraxor]

This is like actual Spam changing its name to Ambrosia.

[arielfetters]

Meta, as in _Metadata_
Wow they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

[JAlexanderCurtis]

The dumptruck that pulled up in front of their sign when they were ready to reveal their new name (at 1:52) was just too perfect to be a coincidence. Clearly the universe is saying something and laughing.

[powerhouse]

I am not giving anything to you, is not Facebook but the fundamental flaw of its moral and ethics within the management across all your apps. No amount of rebranding can change that, there are 0 transparency with your software and what you do with it.
