    The Facebook Papers revealed how the company chased profits - often at the expense of safety.
    So can we trust Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse won't become a tool for misinformation and surveillance?

    The core of the problem is Facebook needs the information bubble in order to maximise monetisation from online presence. Unless you drastically change the underlying algorithm, no amount of policing will help. This change would automatically halve the company's revenue, which is why it will never happen.

    The general term of metaverse (not Zuck's own "Meta" and attempt to monopolize on it) may prove to be an exciting and well integrated piece of technology and CREATIVITY for our current systems. If it does not remain free (which we struggle with in this regular 3d reality across the entire planet) then we will notice it to a LARGER EXTENT I believe. The digital realm of gaming has been virtually unscathed by advertisements and money grabs (enter World of Warcraft followed by its predecessors). Yet, if "gaming" consists of too many unpopular real world monopolies and or CONTROL tactics, there will be an uprising to protect our identities and individual rights to the constitution and personal sovereignty. I believe this is a struggle we are CURRENTLY playing ▶️ out, and the end result is yet to be determined. We will need to stand up to ANYONE and ANYTHING who attempts to break our democracy, who attempts to own us and our information. Ready Player 1 is real, The Matrix is real, 1984 is as well. Value your rights, your worth! We can do away with corporate greed owning us, our politics, our very way of being. Steer the course, love 💜, and question everything you're being told! This is the war of information age. Nothing is as it seems. Hopefully we will figure out this ethereal space before we head into another- the metaverse. F off Zuckerberg! Creative love ❤️‍🔥🏞️💙 will put you into the ground!

It wasn’t about the money for me, but about (a) the creation of it, or more specifically, the creation of products and services that were adopted widely enough to earn that kind of money, and (b) the good that I could do with the money.
      Am I saying that’s the case in Zuck’s case? Not at all. Just saying it MIGHT be about more than the money for him. There might be excitement in the building itself.

    I've been blocked two other times, for very similar reasons.

And secondly. There is no agency in charge or otherwise that is genuinely “interested” in investigating and controlling or “policing” organizations like Facebook, because they know at the end of the day that organization’s such as Facebook are and have always been essential to control mechanism’s such as, but not limited to nation states. And lastly controlled opposition is a business plan not a deterrent.
      if they really had a problem with organization such as these they would be eliminated and not allowed to exist as has been the example time and time again when something doesn’t serve a desired public Narrative.

Mark my words. He is an arrogant prick and frankly is evil. That's why Elon Musk boycotts him. Elon wants the world better for humanity and puts all his wealth there.

    It's a very interesting concept, since it allows you to control your personal data that is collected in your everyday life, and if the GAFA want that information, they will have to pay YOU, for it. The company is runned by former CEO's of Sony Corporation, so i think it will have some developments to come. Let's see.

      Thats already been the case for at least the past 5 years as it is. I agree that it will only get exponentially worse, I mean, I'm not trying to be a debbie downer but it's the truth.

      edit: I made this comment before I watched the video, and they made the exact same tobacco analogy I did...not sure if I should feel smart or dumb
      yes, we are only just now starting to grasp how harmful social media can be, especially on younger people. I think that sometime soon, maybe in 50 years, we're going to look back at how we use social media at this moment, in a similar way to how we now view people that smoked cigarettes in the past. people used to think cigarettes were fine, it wasn't until later that medical science caught up and realized what was happening. but now it's a psychological issue instead, and as our knowledge in that field advances, I think we're going to discover just how deleterious social media is to our mental health. then we'll be shocked we didn't have the common sense to see it at the time, the same way it seems so obvious that people should have known how bad smoking was half a century ago. just a guess.

    I’ve recently just realized how attached to social media I was. It’s like you don’t realize how well designed these app are to keep you sucked in but when you do it’s becomes scary.. This meta verse stuff needs to be banned

      It's not design of the apps, it's the natural reaction of the brain to serotonin released by clicking on buttons.

      its up to you to be able to discern what is and isnt fake via researching outside of your own bubble and getting the different side to something and only once you have seen both sides you should make your decision in what you believe more people should practice this as it should be common sense especially in this day and age

    It's hard for me to blame social media for a problem with humans, social media is just a tool destructive ppl and good ppl uses it I don't blame Facebook because someone lies on it I understand the hardship but we have to get to the route of the problem which is ppl
