> announcement of a company rebrand to avoid government regulation

how does FB changing their name affect their chances at regulation?



Just guessing: now Meta is a holding company of various social media "companies" so it'll be a bit harder to make a case that one company has a monopoly on the internet social media advertising.

They can even list Instagram on the market selling maybe a 5% equity.


I think the holding already existed. But it was called Facebook and now it’s called meta


very much this. Facebook is made up of lots and lots of subsidiaries
