...and wil now be called "Meta".  I have a FB account but never go there.  I only check maybe 3 Xs a year just to see if anyone has interesting photos.

I wonder if the Q will be trying to get people to Meta and what this all means.

I think the parent company changed its name to Meta.  It's products will still be called Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and God-knows-what-else.  That's my understanding anyway.

This.  ^^^

None of the products are changing names.  Just the parent company.

No- From Associated Press:

OAKLAND, Calif. -- An embattled Facebook Inc. is changing its name to Meta Platforms Inc., or Meta for short, to reflect what CEO Mark Zuckerberg says is its commitment to developing the new surround-yourself technology known as the “metaverse.” But the social network itself will still be called Facebook.

They need to change a heck of a lot more than their name.

Once Facebook, always Facebook.

Goggle became Alphabet a few years ago. It didn't help them, and I don't think FB's name change will do anything particularly positive for them either. Maybe they had reason s that we don't know about. Who knows and who really cares?
