Facebook, with its new name Meta, has come to the fore again with a development that may not surprise our readers. The company has been exposed to an endless stream of criticism in recent years. The company, which attracted reactions with its practices that disregard the privacy of its users and its efforts to offer ‘personalized advertising’, decided to change its name, perhaps to open a kind of white page. But Zuckerberg and Meta cannot escape the past.
One of the main reasons why Facebook, with its former name, received so much reaction and criticism was that the misleading and harmful information circulating on the platform was not controlled. An open letter was sent to the company from academicians on this subject. As such, Meta’s performance and success rate in the market has also greatly decreased. Yahoo! Finance also declared Meta the ‘worst company of the year’ in this year’s company rankings.
Microsoft was named the most successful company of the year:
Yahoo! Finance, like every year, chose the most successful company in 2021. Microsoft managed to take the first place in the list of the most successful companies of the year. Meta, on the other hand, is at the top of the list of ‘worst companies of the year’. Yahoo! Meta was the company with the most negative comments in the vote by Finance followers. The most striking aspect of the comments was that each complaint was about a different subject. Named the second worst company of the year, Alibaba has 50% fewer negative reviews than Meta.
It was announced that the majority of the critical comments made for the company were “related to its impact on young people and children”. While some of the voters think that changing the name of the company will not get anywhere, others think that it is a step to correct the mistakes made. So, what is your opinion? Does Meta deserve to be named ‘worst company of the year’? Or do you have another company in mind? You can share your thoughts with us in the comments section.
