Maybe Facebook changed their name to "Meta" because they metastasized and became society's cancer. (self.showerthoughts)

I think it was a monopoly move to avoid being broken up by the US Government, same thing happened to Google when they "became" Alphabet. It has tax and liability benefits, sketchy shell corporation tactics

But yeah the naming shower thought, yeah probably. I like that reasoning better than "metadata" and then "alphabet" since they work for alphabet soup agencies
