BREAKING: Facebook has renamed itself Meta to emphasize its virtual-reality vision for the future, CEO Mark Zuckerberg says.The move comes after leaked documents exposed that the company knew about the harms its products cause.
Skeptics point out that it also appears to be an attempt to change the subject from the Facebook Papers, a leaked document trove that has revealed the ways Facebook ignored internal reports and warnings of the harms its social network created or magnified across the world.
Zuckerberg says he expects the metaverse to reach a billion people within the next decade. The metaverse, he says, will be a place people will be able to interact, work and create products and content in what he hopes will be a new ecosystem that creates “millions” of jobs for creators.
