Social media users reacted on Tuesday to a report that Facebook plans to rename its parent company as early as next week.
The company wants to move beyond social media into the metaverse, described as a virtual world achieved through virtual reality, a source told The Verge.
"Dear Facebook: We've received your request to change your name," Axios reporter Ina Fried quipped on Twitter. "However, due to our real names policy, you will first need to fax us a copy of your court order and new driver's license...."
"Change it to something obvious like ‘Open Book’ because it's stealing all our personal information and spying on everything we say and search," a Facebook user commented in a post.
"This should be great on the late night shows....." another Facebook user joked.

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up. |

I was gonna say it sounds like they want to Second Life, that was around before FB, but it doesn’t start with a T.
Is Second Life still a thing?
