Company boss Mark Zuckerberg (37) plans to unveil the new brand name at the annual Connect conference on October 28, wrote the US technology portal and media network “The Verge”, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The change means that Facebook will be positioned under a parent company alongside its services Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and other platforms, it said. When asked by the Reuters news agency, Facebook said the company would not comment on rumors and speculation. (SDA)
