Meta Platforms Inc.

In the middle of a crisis, Facebook Inc renames itself Meta

Like many companies in trouble before it, Facebook is changing its name and logo.

Facebook Inc. is now called Meta Platforms Inc., or Meta for short, to reflect what CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Oct. 28 is its commitment to developing the new surround-yourself technology known as the " metaverse." But the social network itself will still be called Facebook.
