Facebook Will Change Its Name and All Logos

In an article this week, the technology site The Verge reports that Facebook intends to change its name. An announcement about the name change is expected next week.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been vocal about the metaverse—a digital world where people can move between different devices and interact in a virtual environment. The company has made significant investments in virtual reality and augmented reality.

Augmented reality, which was first created in a dystopian novel three decades ago, has gained popularity in Silicon Valley and has been referenced by other tech companies like Microsoft.

Zuckerberg is set to discuss the name change at the company’s annual Connect conference on October 28, but the new name may be revealed even sooner, according to The Verge.

This move comes as Facebook faces extensive scrutiny from lawmakers and internet regulators worldwide due to the harm caused by content measurement practices and the publication of confidential documents by various individuals.
