Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook's company name would be changed to "Meta". does anyone know what the reason for suddenly changing the name?

@rusmantoahmads I don't think that it's replaced.. it's just a renaming.

@arunima25 I think even if the name is changed, everyone will still call it Facebook

well I also asked why it has to be meta, like it's very far from facebook identity

@ihasaquestion yeahhh facebook is already attached to the heart so it's a bit strange to call it by another name

Well I have just read it from my mobile news awhile ago. I didn't read it. I skipped it for it doesn't really matter to me as long as its features are there. I think one reason of naming it is to erase the bad impression of others about the FB.

@rusmantoahmads Here's what the FB owner said, “It is time for us to adopt a new company brand to encompass everything that we do, to reflect who we are, and what we hope to build.” Then he announced a new name for the company: not Facebook, but Meta. This is what the news said.

@Nakitakona well i just read it a few minutes ago , now i understand what he means , meta is the parent company to overshadow facebook, wa and insta. so now facebook is not the parent company but "META".

Facebook has become a circus, I am sorry to say. New name or not.

@rusmantoahmads Oh, it's true. Now, with their messenger and video calls, can't just browse and chill without constant interruptions. I, for one, will never waste my time "video chatting" or calling or whatever. Dude, either type a message, talk on a phone, or meetup face to face. Wtf is wrong with people.

I heard about this news. Perhaps it shows that they have a big ambition.

I don't like calling it meta sounds like beta.

I’m not sure but it has something to do with all the untruths and racism on Facebook.

It will be still popular with its original name, no matter what new name they change it to

No, I don’t know why there’s a sudden name change for Facebook. I don’t understand why they can’t keep it the same. Facebook is an iconic famous name and I’m not sure about the name, Meta. What do you think about the name Meta?

Facebook app is not gonna change their name, but the facebook, inc. or the facebook company which also the mother company to whatsapp instagram etc is gonna change their name to meta

One of the worse decision by Mark I guess. He should tell the public the real reason behind it.
