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.

How about “Big Brother “? Instead of us watching television, now television watches us.

I wonder if theyll pick some meaningless roman-greek-woke hybrid name, like a new drug name or some telecom company

Will they be changing any of their functions?
Why bother changing the name?
I don’t use it.
I don’t put anyone down for using it. Many do to communicate with their family across the country, or their grandchildren.
The few people left in my family can always send an email, text or pick up a phone. Same for my short list of real friends.
If you use Facebook or it’s imitators, enjoy. It can be a useful tool. Just remain aware of their tendancy to censor, block or punish certain attitudes or lifestyles, while leaving other attitudes or lifestyles unbothered.

Social Media is hastening the downfall of our civilization. Anonymity is the root problem.

Just use Ministry Of Truth and be done with it.
FB is not all that anonymous and can keep family and friends in touch, but does censor. Twatter is the main problem. Then you have Instagram and now Tic Tok where every super-ego or low self-esteem needs to post some inane photo/video. Yes, I know, some videos can be entertaining. My wife watches dog videos all the time.
Point is again, anonymity just fuels hatred and the growing division.
Was it the “theglobe.com”?
They should call it “MyFace.”
