Facebook Inc. on Oct. 28 is officially changing its name to Meta, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, coming after the social media giant recently endured leaks and so-called whistleblower complaints about its companywide practices.
“Building social apps will always be important for us, and there’s a lot more to build. But increasingly, it’s not all we do. In our DNA, we build technology to bring people together. The metaverse is the next frontier in connecting people, just like social networking was when we got started,” Zuckerberg wrote in a letter posted online.
