This week's ShowmeCAST kicks off with a recap of the Facebook Connect event hosted by the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In the midst of numerous imbroglios and problems involving the brand, the executive used some tricks to change the company's name to Meta.

In general, social networks will have the same name, but Meta is a direct allusion to the distant concept of the metaverse, so coveted by Zuckerberg. In addition to not having such a clear idea of ​​how this will be implemented, there is still concern about the privacy and security of users' data in a world where social relationships are increasingly being replaced by the digital world.

Also, iFood was recently hacked by an employee who provided services for the company. The attack did not have major consequences for users, but it was responsible for changing the name of about 6% of establishments to apologies for President Jair Bolsonaro and hate messages from Extrema-Direta.
