Facebook rebrands as Meta but for end-users nothing changes

Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies,” Google co-founder Larry Page had said about the reoganisation that had taken place in 2015. But the problem with Facebook has never been its name. The problem lies in what Facebook/Meta has become. At a time when it’s under fire for spreading misinformation and other issues, Facebook has renamed itself Meta, a bet on what Mark Zuckerberg believes to be the next digital frontier called the “metaverse”.

The change in name comes with a new logo — an infinity-shaped symbol – while Facebook, Instagram and other apps are under the Meta umbrella. No, the Facebook social network is not changing its name.
