Face{plant|palm|roll|mask|hugger} Or as an homage to Orwell: Faceboot. They could always go back to their Facemash roots. Or acquire the rights to Skynet.

FYI, http://faceboot.com/ redirects to Facebook :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Monsanto --> Bayer

Bayer bought Monsanto, not quite the same rebranding as the other ones

"Meta". Could be more dystopian, still I am not disappointed. "Alphabet" is still scarier.
