Announcing the new name, Zuckerberg said, "Today we are seen as a social media company, but in our DNA we are a company that builds technology to connect people, and the metaverse is the next frontier just like social networking was when we got started." It is being said that the name change has been initiated to distract the world from the plethora of criticisms from lawmakers and regulators over its market power, algorithmic decisions and the policing of abuses on its services. However, it's worth noting that Zuckerberg changed Facebook's corporate branding to Meta, and this means that the names of Facebook and suite of apps won't change.
