Facebook will collaborate with policymakers, experts and industry partners to bring this to life: https://t.co/7f7I59at24 #TAF21
An all encompassing, immersive virtual sensory world managed by amoral surveillance capitalists? I'll take two! https://t.co/pllni5Rvik

Interesting approach. Ethical product development is incredibly important and must be transparent. https://t.co/0fUOl6Vzt7

A complete and utter joke in which Facebook, after a decade of disastrously mismanaging the largest social media platform in the world, attempts to buy goodwill for its plans to expand even more dramatically for $50 million, or ~0.005% of its nearly $1 trillion valuation. https://t.co/cGR0xsswQx

Anyone who still believes Facebook does anything “responsibly” shouldn’t be taken seriously. The Metaverse is all about expanding Facebook’s control over us, while opening up new avenues for profit. https://t.co/WnuNscKMHH

The metaverse isn't a single product one company can build alone. And it won’t be built overnight. This gives us time to ask the difficult questions about how it should be built, and collaborate with policymakers, industry & academia to guide our work. https://t.co/MSyTfASyIe

tl;dr $50m to develop ethical VR Zoom calls. Meanwhile content labeling models will continue to flag videos of black people as being about primates. https://t.co/EjuIK5fkYt

“Facebook’s definition of the sometimes nebulous word “metaverse.” The company describes it as “virtual spaces where you can create and explore with other people” that you’re not physically with, spread out over a variety of products and services” ? https://t.co/TSzmwDBsWc

Unless your metaverse project lets people fly around having sex as virtual dragons, it's just a conference call https://t.co/CZNAdneM0t
