It began in 2004 as TheFacebook, an online social-networking service created by Mark Zuckerberg and fellow Harvard students, and was incorporated as TheFacebook, Inc. The company changed its name to Facebook, Inc. in 2005 and developed from a college-oriented website into one of the world’s largest internet businesses.\n\nMeta’s principal consumer services include Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Threads. These products support social networking, photo and video sharing, private and group communication, short-form content, creator activity and online communities. The company also operates advertising systems that monetize activity on its own platforms and distributes advertising through related channels. Advertising has historically generated the overwhelming majority of Meta’s revenue, making user engagement, targeting, measurement and privacy policy central to its business model.\n\nThe company expanded through both internal development and acquisitions. Its purchase of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 brought two globally significant communication and media services into the Facebook group. Meta also developed a hardware and software business around Oculus, later marketed under the Meta Quest name, and partnered with EssilorLuxottica on Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses. These activities form part of the company’s Reality Labs segment, which focuses on virtual reality, augmented reality and related hardware and software.\n\nIn October 2021, Facebook, Inc. announced a corporate rebrand to Meta Platforms, Inc. The change was intended to signal a longer-term strategic emphasis on the metaverse: interconnected digital environments using social, virtual-reality and augmented-reality technologies. The Facebook service retained its name, while the parent company adopted Meta. The metaverse strategy required substantial investment and became associated with both ambitious product development and significant financial pressure.\n\nMeta faced a difficult period in 2022. Apple’s app-tracking changes constrained advertising measurement, competition from TikTok challenged user attention, and post-pandemic economic conditions weakened digital advertising. The company announced large-scale workforce reductions, including approximately 11,000 jobs in November 2022 and a further planned reduction of about 10,000 positions in 2023. At the same time, it increased its emphasis on artificial intelligence, including specialized computing infrastructure and generative-AI models.\n\nIn 2023, Meta launched Threads, a text-oriented social application positioned as a competitor to Twitter, and released Llama 2 for commercial use through cloud partnerships under a source-available model. The company also continued to develop Quest devices and mixed-reality experiences. Regulatory scrutiny remained extensive, covering privacy, competition, content moderation, children’s safety, political influence and cross-border data transfers. Meta is therefore both a major consumer internet brand and a heavily regulated global communications and advertising company whose future strategy combines social platforms, artificial intelligence and immersive computing.", "aliases": [ "Meta", "Facebook", "META PLATFORMS, INC.", "Facebook, Inc." ], "entityType": "corporate_brand", "l1Slug": "communication-services", "l1": "Communication Services", "l2Slug": "media-entertainment", "l2": "Media & Entertainment", "l3Slug": "interactive-media", "l3": "Interactive Media & Services", "l4Slug": "internet-platforms", "l4": "Internet Platforms", "country": "United States", "headquarters": "Menlo Park, California, United States", "operatingMarkets": [ "Global", "Canada" ], "foundedYear": 2004, "founder": "Mark Zuckerberg", "website": "https://about.meta.com", "websiteHost": "about.meta.com", "parentCompany": null, "owner": null, "groupOrHouse": null, "listedStatus": "public", "ticker": "META", "status": "active", "enrichmentStatus": "wiki_ok", "typicalProducts": [ "Social media platforms", "Messaging services", "Digital advertising", "Virtual-reality hardware", "Augmented-reality devices", "Artificial-intelligence models and services", "Social networking services", "Virtual reality devices", "Metaverse platforms" ], "flagshipOfferings": [ "Facebook", "Instagram", "WhatsApp", "Messenger", "Threads", "Meta Quest", "Llama", "Oculus" ], "positioning": "A global technology platform seeking to connect people and communities while expanding from social networking and digital advertising into artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality.", "sameAs": [ "https://about.meta.com" ], "claimStatus": "unverified", "wikiVerified": false, "updatedAt": "2026-11-04T13:17:55.851Z", "generatedAt": "2026-08-21T22:09:01.009Z", "executives": [ { "name": "Javier Olivan", "title": "Chief operating officer", "isCurrent": true, "startYear": 2022, "endYear": null }, { "name": "Mark Zuckerberg", "title": "Founder, chairman and chief executive officer", "isCurrent": true, "startYear": 2004, "endYear": null }, { "name": "Sheryl Sandberg", "title": "Former chief operating officer", "isCurrent": false, "startYear": 2008, "endYear": 2022 } ], "news": [ { "headline": "Meta announces acquisition of Conductor", "year": 2026, "eventDate": "2026-11-04", "datePrecision": "day", "publishedAt": "2026-11-04", "publishedDatePrecision": "day", "summary": "Conductor’s founder said the startup was joining Meta, and Meta confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch.

The service initially focused on college communities before expanding beyond campuses. The company was renamed Facebook, Inc. in 2005 and developed a large-scale advertising business around user profiles, social connections and engagement.\n\nFacebook became a public company in 2012. Its IPO was priced at $38 per share and gave the company an indicated valuation of approximately $104 billion. Trading on Nasdaq experienced technical difficulties, and the stock fell below its offering price during its first week. Despite the difficult debut, Facebook continued to grow its user base and advertising operations. It was added to the S&P 500 in 2013.\n\nThe company’s expansion accelerated through acquisitions. Instagram joined Facebook in 2012, while WhatsApp was acquired in 2014. These transactions broadened the group from a single social network into a portfolio of global communication and media services. Facebook also pursued video, gaming, mobile applications and hardware. Its virtual-reality business grew from the Oculus acquisition and later became part of Reality Labs.\n\nDuring the late 2010s, Facebook faced increasing criticism and regulatory scrutiny involving privacy, platform governance, political advertising, misinformation, content moderation and market power. The company also experimented with products such as Lasso and pursued a cryptocurrency initiative initially called Libra. Libra was later renamed Diem and was ultimately shut down and sold in 2022 after regulatory and political resistance.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic increased use of online communication and accelerated hiring. Facebook’s workforce expanded rapidly, but the company later concluded that it had overestimated the persistence of pandemic-era growth. Apple’s privacy changes reduced advertising measurement and targeting capabilities, while TikTok intensified competition for video consumption and younger users.\n\nIn October 2021, Facebook, Inc. became Meta Platforms, Inc. The rebrand emphasized the metaverse, a strategic vision involving virtual and augmented reality, digital environments and new forms of online interaction. Meta continued to invest heavily in Quest hardware, software and immersive experiences, even as Reality Labs generated pressure on the broader business.\n\nIn 2022 and 2023, Meta combined restructuring with renewed investment in artificial intelligence. The company announced substantial layoffs, increased spending on AI infrastructure and released Llama models, including Llama 2 for commercial use. It launched Threads in 2023 and continued operating Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger as its core global services. Meta remains an active public company, but its operations are shaped by continuing privacy, competition, safety, data-transfer and content-regulation disputes.", "milestones": [ { "year": 2004, "title": "TheFacebook is established", "summary": "The company begins as TheFacebook, a social-networking service founded by Mark Zuckerberg and fellow Harvard students.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" }, { "year": 2005, "title": "The company becomes Facebook, Inc.", "summary": "The corporate name changes from TheFacebook, Inc. to Facebook, Inc.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" }, { "year": 2012, "title": "Initial public offering", "summary": "Facebook completes its public offering and begins trading on Nasdaq.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" }, { "year": 2012, "title": "Instagram acquisition", "summary": "Facebook acquires Instagram, adding a major mobile photo-sharing service to its portfolio.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" }, { "year": 2014, "title": "WhatsApp acquisition", "summary": "Facebook acquires WhatsApp, expanding its global messaging operations.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" }, { "year": 2021, "title": "Rebrand to Meta Platforms", "summary": "The parent company adopts Meta Platforms, Inc. to reflect its metaverse-oriented strategy.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" }, { "year": 2023, "title": "Threads launches", "summary": "Meta releases Threads, a text-based social application linked to its broader social ecosystem.", "sourceUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms" } ], "products": [ { "name": "Facebook", "category": "Social network", "description": "Meta’s original flagship social-networking service.
