Basically name squatting off the popular use of "meta" to describe a self referential event/action.
Also FB lately has become synonymous with causing significant harm to democracy across multiple continents. A corporate name change is a cheap way to deceive people in the future. When they (future generations) try to lookup the history of "Meta", they won't immediately see the crap that FB produced in the dark ages.
It's the equivalent of a restaurant or business changing their DBA because of shitty online reviews. Or car dealerships advertising "new management"
