facebook as an organisation is much bigger than facebook the website, so it makes sense to rebrand it, particularly as facebook the website is in decline. Google did similar with Alphabet

The Lizards would be a better rebrand

Yes I doubt Facebook (the social media site) will change the name of the site, they’ll just be changing the name of the actual company as it branches out into areas that have little or nothing to do with the Facebook site itself.

Seems an odd thing to do now he has a massive brand. What will Google search do when someone searches for Facebook.

'Sorry, your search recovered no results...'

Bizarre to throw away all that history...

Zuckerberg seems to get bored easily , why can't they keep the same name.

[bitontheslide]

i hate when people have been to the presentation training class and told to move their arms. It's becoming the norm and it looks so unnatural

[Livia]

They should change the name of Ministry of Truth.

He's so weird and his hairline is so ... fake looking ... that I sometimes genuinely wonder if he's a robot .

It is just the Group Control, new title called META
