However, the name of all the company’s apps like Facebook , WhatsApp, Instagram etc. will remain the same. Mark Zuckerberg at the Annual Developers Conference said, ‘We have come to know about the social problems and many challenges of living under closed platforms and now it is time to bring together what we learned and prepare for the next step.
Why did Facebook change its name?
“From today our company’s name will be META. There will be no change in our target. We will still work with the aim of bringing people together. There will be no change in our apps and their brand. Critics, however, believe the move may be an attempt to divert attention from the controversy over the Facebook Papers leak.
What is the purpose of distraction?
Mark Zuckerberg says he expects the metaverse to reach a billion people within the next decade. He believes that ‘Metaverse’ will be a platform on which people will communicate and work to create products and content. He expects this to be a new platform that will create ‘millions’ of jobs for creators. Significantly, this announcement comes at a time when Facebook is facing an existential crisis.
