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

He meta friend first and she introduced them, "Hey, this is Sally have you meta?"
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.
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.

I heard it's the company that's changing but the website will still be Facebook unless that's changed since yesterday?

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.
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!

Maybe MZ will found a university "Whatsa Meta U". He should check with the Marx Brothers estate for trademarking.

Of course not, because it never needed justification in the first place.

Everyone knows Facebook collects massive amounts of metadata. It's odd for them to promote that fact, but this name change seems really obvious to me. It would be like Mary Kay renaming itself "Pyramid."

I am so glad that BP population is so tuned in to this garbage. I seem to live in and area that is populated by people that believe that if it doesn't appear on Facebook it does not exist! People upgrading their photos, and status what they are doing! I said something they told me was false - I thought I was gonna be stoned to death! Panda people keep up the good work and thanks for keeping me sane!

In Brazilian Portuguese, "Meta" is like part of a dirty joke involving sex. Literally is "put on". This. Will. Flop. Hard.

Besides the people who proudly use Facebook as their news source I’m sick of everyone saying “I just use it to keep in contact with high school friends”. You’re feeding the monster. It’s sad business have to use it because it’s so popular. Delete that s**t

Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus, etc. It's just like how Alphabet owns Google, Fitbit, Waze, etc.
