I never cared for Social Media. I had a Facebook account but it was barebones. They are way too biased. From what I gathered, they are changing their name to revamp the whole look. Most people associate Facebook with something, either good or bad, changing the name is to have people forget who they are & what they are about. It’s a marketing ploy. However, I still hear it being called & referred to as Facebook. Does anybody use the new name- Meta?

Not me. I've even deleted my Facebook account and all its content. (Yes, it's possible.) The whole concept of Facebook makes no sense to me.

The name changed almost 2 years ago yet when you make a FB account it is still Facebook and not Meta.

Yeah, 'Meta' is the name of the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and so on. (Previously, both the company and the social network were called 'Facebook', which was a bit confusing!) I remember it caused a bit of a stir in Israel, because 'Meta' is Hebrew for 'dead' .

I know that the name of the company that owns Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and now Threads is called Meta and I believe they also use the name Meta for their VR headset as well.
I can't say I have ever referred to any of their social media platforms as Meta and always call them by their names.

Not a fan of the name change or see a reason for it. I think facebook was situated to last forever, but this name change could put it at risk in the long run.

They won't rename it. Too many people know it as Facebook. Like Edelweiss to Oscar Mayer.

I'm not a fan of Facebook a lot of my friends aren't really friends anymore because of it. When we had MySpace that was great.
