The Facebook name change to Meta occurred in October 2021 when Mark Zuckerberg announced the rebranding of Facebook Inc. to reflect its new focus on the Metaverse. The internet immediately reacted with a wave of memes mocking the simplistic logo, the awkward presentation style, and the perceived attempt to distance the parent company from various data privacy controversies. Common iterations involve editing Zuckerberg into bizarre VR environments or highlighting that despite the name change, the core platform's issues remain the same. It serves as a go-to template for commenting on corporate rebrands that feel like a cosmetic mask for a fundamental identity crisis.
