I'm guessing IHOb
IHOP changes name back from IHOb
On Monday, the pancake house chain reverted to its long-standing name after a temporary switch to "IHOb" last month, with the "b" standing for burgers. By flipping the "P" to "b," the restaurant generated some buzz to promote a new line-up of beef patties.

Facebook changes its company name to Meta
Facebook is changing its company name as it shifts its focus to the "metaverse" and confronts wide-ranging scrutiny of the real-world harms from its various platforms after a whistleblower leaked hundreds of internal documents.

Yeah, that'll solve all their problems!Haha, this may be the most fun headline in a long time!

This is a major change. From now on, we'll be getting our fake news, conspiracy theories, threats, insults and incitements to violence from Meta, not Facebook. I feel so much better now. By the way, on December 1 the company's stock symbol will change from FB to MVRS (for "Metaverse").
This is no different than Google becoming a subsidiary of Alphabet. Nobody says "I forgot the name of that actor, I'll alphabet it".
The platform is still called Facebook. The only difference is that Zuckerberg is now the CEO of Meta. So he is separating himself from Facebook.

Zuckerberg Announces Fantasy World Where Facebook Is Not a Horrible Company
Facebook’s new name is “Meta,” and its new mission is to invent a ‘metaverse’ that will make us all forget what it’s done to our existing reality.

I’ve been thinking about dropping it. I don’t really post much anyway. Most of the time I just skim through to see what people are doing so that I don’t actually have to talk to them.

I like the many pictures of schnauzers I get. I am a member of 10 or more schnauzer groups.
I post something probably once a month. Last weekend our cousins from NY came up, and afterwards, we posted pictures of all the local sites we went to. The rest of the family likes seeing that. Other than that, I only have a few friends who post stuff; it's mostly travel pictures, which is nice. And the local community forums are entertaining. I also get a lot from the Formula 1 site during race weekends. It's harmless.

I do checkins when I go out to dinner. I figure where we dine is an important event and people want to know.

Not usually. I did when I went to Sandals. I posted a pic of a buffet meal (which was my choices) and it generated quite the discussion on the Sandals facebook group. Apparently I wasn't buffeting correctly.
Hebrew speakers mock Facebook's corporate rebrand to Meta
Social media users in Israel are mocking Facebook's company name change to Meta, as it sounds similar to the Hebrew word for "dead."

And Meta's new logo – a ripoff of the infinity symbol – reminds me of the mask worn by DC Comics character Nightwing.
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram suspended Donald Trump's accounts in January because he spread lies and incited a deadly riot and they feared more violence was possible. Donald Trump then sued Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for suspending his accounts. Trump cried "Censorship!" and said his First Amendment free-speech rights were violated – but the First Amendment applies to government entities, not private companies. Now the Justice Department is getting involved.
Justice Department intervenes in Trump lawsuit against Big Tech to defend Section 230
Justice Department intervention comes as Donald Trump sues social media platforms, accusing them of censorship after being banned over Jan. 6 posts.

I'd be willing to bet that there have been a thousand Trump lawsuits that have either just vanished, or have been determined to lack merit, in the past six years or so. He's also demanded an equal number of apologies, which have been ignored.
