Facebook Is Changing Its Name - NewsBreak

Facebook won't be Facebook much longer. Facebook is preparing to announce a name change, according to The Verge's Alex Heath. While the social media platform known as Facebook will presumably keep its name, the overall company — that also owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus — is rebranding itself to focus on its future: its push into the "metaverse." The metaverse is, simply put, a series of internet services and experiences — such as social media, virtual reality and commerce — all interconnected together. This metaverse-themed name will apparently be revealed by Oct. 28 and comes while the company has faced even more scrutiny about how its platforms spread misinformation and hate speech.
