German company claims Facebook copied its logo for 'Meta' rebranding; hits back snarkily

Ever since Mark Zuckerberg changed Facebook's name to Meta, the internet has been the place to be, as memes and opinions are springing out every now and then. The company recently announced its new name at the Facebook Connect event that was organised on October 29. Meanwhile, apart from celebrities and OTT platforms, who took a swipe at Facebook's rebranding, German company 'M-sense Migräne' has also jumped in, taking a dig at Meta's logo and its privacy policy. Interestingly, the logo of both companies are strikingly similar and that has triggered an intense meme fest on Twitter. Sharing a post on Twitter with the logos in two colours, M-sense Migräne wrote, "We are very honoured that @facebook felt inspired by the logo of our migraine app - maybe they’ll get inspired by our data privacy procedures as well". We are very honoured that @facebook felt inspired by the logo of our migraine app - maybe they’ll get inspired by our data privacy procedures as well 👀 🤓 #dataprivacy #meta #facebook pic.twitter.com/QY7cota36r — M-sense Migräne (@msense_app) October 29, 2021 The last bit of the dig was at the most infamous failures of Facebook as it has been accused of failing to protect user data privacy in a number of instances. The party for the migraine curing app didn't just stop there as it shared another tweet, subtly promoting its app and offering help to Zuckerberg if the rebranding caused him a migraine. "We've been told this rebrand to @Meta is causing Mr. Zuckerberg a big migraine — we can help! Just download our app", read the tweet. We've been told this rebrand to @Meta is causing Mr. Zuckerberg a big migraine — we can help! Just download our app 😘 #facebook #meta #migraine #migraineapp pic.twitter.com/aN5P3VFk47 — M-sense Migräne (@msense_app) October 30, 2021 Needless to say, these hilarious jibes by the German company attracted some funny reactions from the Twitteratis, who went all out after Meta. Here are some of the top ones.

Twitteratis are also having more fun in hitting out at Zuckerberg's brand as it recently sparked a huge controversy after a former Facebook employee Frances Haugen recenlty blew the whistle on Facebook. She had alleged that the social media giant fuels violence as the algorithms of the platform are designed to promote divisive content. She had also claimed that the social network witnessed the safety as a cost centre and hyped the start-up culture where cutting corners was better. She added that Facebook was “unquestionably” making hate worse. Image: AP
