ya obviously it's reasonable that Facebook changed the name of their company for a "hedge"

Actually it’s totally reasonable. They got bad press and rebranded to seem hip and futuristic. It’s that simple

Eh, I don’t know. Nothing of value was renamed — Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are unchanged. And “Meta” is a good name for an umbrella organization, even if they drop their VR ambition entirely.
