Still, some doubted their motives. This could have resulted in Facebook (the company, not the social media platform) changing its name. The motive was cited as an effort to be known for more than just social media and its harms. Zuckerberg said the company would "effectively move from people who see us primarily as a social media company to a metaverse company." This metaverse company is now known as meta. In the opening keynote of Facebook Connect 2021, Zuckerberg sheds light on how Facebook was used back then to find most information on the Internet. To keep using technology to con
