Well, all of this is now changing as Mark Zuckerberg, the big guns behind Facebook, announced that the company will change its name to Meta. Oh, and you better believe how much social commentary it has spawned on the internet in the form of memes.
Scroll down to see some of the best memes people online have spawned since the announcement in the curated list below. And while you’re there, don’t forget to vote and comment on the best submissions!

Meta: no longer even trying to hide the fact that we’re tracking your every move and selling the info to other companies.

I quit Facebook several years ago, and it was liberating. I don't know why more people don't just quit. The company had a very strong hand in nearly destroying this country in a very real and tangible way. And it's not done yet. Why give them your data to get richer?

Dan, I'm right there with you. It's been 2 years since I deleted my account. Everything you stated is true, but I'd like to add that it's becoming a breeding ground for hate, disrespect, lies, deceit, pettiness, greed, and flat out b u l l s h i t. I don't think people realize just how heavily they are influenced but not just Facebook but social media is a whole. It's ruining us as human beings and most people don't want to admit it or even talk about the bad side of social media and technology. With that said, it does give me great relief to know that I'm not the only one that sees it.

Ah yes, but changing it, after the original name is sullied, is one way to avoid people who somehow didn’t hear about the change thinking you’re the same company. Same s**t, different name. Still s**t, though.
Stephanie Keith 4 years ago
Will changing the name will definitely help them when it comes to a younger generation. Or just younger people all together. Because they won't be aware of the name change. Thus it being something new to them.

Yet these same people are still on Facebook? I just want to understand how people bash it, yet are equally obsessed with it? Any insight to this might help me understand.

Always wondered what it was before it became "crystal me..." LMFAO
So, Facebook. You know Facebook, right? That hella huge social media platform with the blue thumbs up and everything? The company behind Facebook, which is also called Facebook, has announced that it will be rebranding itself as “Meta”.
In the announcement, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained that Facebook has two major segments: one that’s all about their family of apps, and one that’s all about work on future platforms. So, to encompass everything that Facebook does (which currently includes the likes of Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and a bunch more), it introduced a new identity as Meta.

Exactly! Any professional field using the word "meta" on a daily basis, will now have trouble finding the information they need on the internet, as all search results will now be obscured by bs articles about Facebook.

Just tell them not to worry about it, the people who are listening from Facebook over the microphone will fix it, and freak em out!! Hehe
Now, considering all of the privacy issues, its business model, how it can’t moderate itself, among others, people have started speaking out about this name change in the form of memes.
Besides it just being loads of fun, it has also become a social commentary of how nobody believes that this will change anything, as the re-branding equates to slapping a band aid on a flesh wound, and people will quite likely still call it Facebook.

Speaking of memes, there are tons of them, starting with people who vandalized the logo to include a phallic representation of something that shall not be mentioned explicitly in this sentence to using “Meta” puns (like “Metaphor” and “Never Meta Girl”) to straight up visual memes.
The latter includes memes such as Flex Tape Slap, Grandpa Simpson “Back In My Day”, “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” memes featuring Steve Buscemi, and a whole bunch of other visuals fit for Facebook’s current situation.

Now they have a whole new layer of corporate and legal smokescreen, copyright and name games to play, red tape and deflections to obfuscate so they can do what they're probably ramping up to do. And getting "help" from the government, so they behave better, with their sage guidance.

Continue scrolling as there’s much more to be had, but know that the Twitter hashtag Meta is now hella trending, and Facebook’s also got a good Meta hashtag feed, so you’re always welcome. But before you go, why not tell us what you think about all of this in the comment section below!

I would actually prefer MySpace to be back instead of Facebook, to be honest. And not what MySpace is now, but what it used to be like. Or alternatively, another company making a clone of ca. 2006 MySpace and launching it as a new social medium.

He's one of those "uncanny valley" people. Like you look at him and there's nothing obviously wrong....but something just feels off. His features are proportional, his facial expressions match his speech....and yet something just isn't quite right.

I posted a pic of my favorite socks, which went to #2 (thanks guys!) and after 3 days they blocked out the word b1tch. On the socks. Which was a joke, about myself, actually, and wasn't calling anyone anything. You can't even read the word. I can find all sorts of graphic, digusting stuff posted on BP that is left untouched. Are we 9 year olds here? If you are going to ask for contributions that are then posted to adhere to the content asked for, and you have to block it out to protect us, don't ask us, don't post it

I never had a Facebook. Still dont. Back say 10 years ago everyone I knew was begging me to make one. I said no I have no intreste in it. to me there's something is fishy with it because you never get anything free in life. there's always a price or catch. Anyway i don't have the need to share everything in my life and show every pic I took in the past 20 years! I didn't have need to get peoples approval for everything I did saw or said.My friends/ family know how to get me if they need me. Back then I was looked upon as a crazy conspiracy lady! "YOU DON'T HAVE A FACEBOOK BOOK!". " WHATS WRONG WITH YOU" It was like a Salem witch trail..theres something wrong with her burn her! Lol 😆 funny part is ALL all those people who said those things to me many moons ago have joined the anti Facebook (now meta, sorry) bandwagon! Lol.. talk about how bad it is.. how the sold their name . How toxic and bad it is for mental health!maybe I was right after all! Evil 😈 me hopes they eat crow! Lol
