Facebook's rebranding to META comes off as a gross attempt to escape the past damage that Facebook has caused. Facebook does this in the wake of multiple problems. The Facebook Files, an investigation from Wall Street Journal, detailing all of the damage that Facebook had dealt with the help of a whistleblower. Facebook's system had been helping fuel the rise in anti-vaccination campaigns. The creation of White Nationalist groups. The company knew about human and drug trafficking on the site with little response. The company exempts certain individuals, enabling them to incite hatred and violence against others without consequences. The last problem facing META now is the privacy laws of Europe. This is resulting in Facebook and Instagram potentially leaving Europe. The attempt to transition the company to META is an attempt to align the company with future innovation in the technology market while abandoning the damaged reputation of Facebook.
