Facebook will be now called Meta as Mark Zuckerberg works to create Metaverse: Full story in 10 points

India Today  

Facebook’s parent company is now Meta. This is because Zuckerberg wants to move beyond the realms of social media and does not wish his company to be known as a social media company only. “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,” Zuckerberg said. Here are the key takeaways from Facebook’s name change — Facebook is only a social media app now as the name of the parent company has been changed. It will be a collective effort of creators and developers “making new experiences and digital items that are interoperable and unlock a massively larger creative economy than the one constrained by today’s platforms and their policies.” — About the privacy and security of the new platform, Zuckerberg has said that the company will focus on it from day one.
