FACEBOOK has seen its fair share of controversy since its conception in 2004.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly planning a rebranding reveal next week.
What is Facebook changing its name to?
According to The Verge, Facebook is rebranding and the social media network will have a new name as soon as next week.
However, the new name is a closely guarded secret. Allegedly, not even senior leaders at the company know what the new name is.
This rebrand is reportedly going to be a part of a new parent company, which will house other groups like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus.
Facebook has yet to comment on the name change publicly.
Zuckerberg is in the process of creating a Facebook metaverse.
What is a metaverse?
The term metaverse refers to shared virtual world environments which people can access via the internet.
This includes virtual spaces that are made lifelike through technology such as virtual reality or augmented reality.
The future of the internet is leaning towards the conceptions of metaverses, which are shared 3D virtual spaces.
Reportedly, Facebook formed a team earlier this year to focus on creating their own metaverse. The company openly talked about adding over 10K high-skilled jobs across the European Union over the next five years in order to build virtual and augmented reality experiences.
The massive communal cyberspace would allow avatars to step in and out of different activities and universes, all online.
When was there a Facebook outage?
On October 4, 2021, Facebook experienced one of its biggest outages to date.
The social media website, along with Instagram and WhatsApp, which are all under the same company, experienced an outage of over seven hours.
The following week, users experienced another outage. The outage was blamed on technological errors.
This came at a time when Facebook was facing scrutiny over whether or not politicians and lawmakers should break up the California tech company.
There have been arguments for years stating that nobody should own three of the world’s most popular communications platforms.
