Their new symbol looks like the alien ships from Netflix’s Another Life that are trying to destroy earth. Ironic.
Change your name to something dumb and everyone will forget you’re an incompetent psycho running a data mining operation that’s been riddled with scandal ranging from massive data leaks to overtly racist advertising practices since it’s inception. Genius move Zuck!
"We're very much aware that a lot of people don't trust Facebook anymore and that's hurting our market shares. But instead of changing anything about what we do, we decided that it's time to change what we're called so that those who don't know about this change might confuse us for a different company be mislead to put their trust in us once again. Because you can't say "Ugh, I hate Facebook" when it's called not called "Facebook" anymore!"
Exactly! He fully admits this. I’m really confused as to why people aren't quite literally terrified of this. Combine this with the current state of political and world affairs and it’s just a few years away. Of all the things going on this is insanely bad bad bad news.
Seriously though, Zuckenberg has seriously aged. I think all the pressures of these past years with the scrutiny Facebook has been under, likely really stressed him out. Look at a picture of him from three years ago and the picture for the headline of this article, it’s staggering how much he’s aged. And the Dude is only 37. He looks 45. Either he has bad genetics or I’m spot on.
You’re absolutely correct. And I’m proud to say, I’ve never had social media (Macrumors doesn’t count) and I don’t watch the media. I feel bad for those who facestalk sitting on their phones hours on end, that’s just not a way to live.
lol, I like how many are self congratulating themselves for not using FB. You want a cookie? That's not a great feat. It's a platform that only gives what you put. If you put nothing you get nothing. I use it for Toyota Corolla Group and audiophile group and keep in touch with barely a handful of people I've met. Never had a controversy using this app. because I don't do anything with it. I'm self congratulation myself. Cause I don't have any ill effects from using FB or IG because I have self control and don't put toxic things on them in the 1st place. If you can't avoid controversy or risk getting Cancelled or whatever from using social media that speaks to the users lack of control.
Yeah…no…not even close.
The infinity symbol actually slenders in at the midpoint and then it’s oblong at the further most point, when the meta symbol is nothing like that, with the wavelength appearance.

How many times are you going to edit your post? I mean, if you actually just compare the two symbols, they’re not even remotely similar. But I mean, you could just continue to keep imagining your ‘bent up infinity’ tangent.
Edit what post. I didn't edit it. I replied to your comment. It's a bent up infinity symbol. If you see something else, good for you.
lol, the fact that you think I'm editing my posts shows you're seeing things.
Edited for typo.

I mean, I literally did the homework for you by posting the infinity symbol, and there’s absolutely no relation to what you posted. Why you’re in such denial, is beyond me. And you did edit your post like three times… within one minute as I was responding. So there’s that.
FYI….It doesn’t show ‘edited’ until after five minutes on Xenoforo.
