The 3rd photo looks like a scene from a Matrix prequel.
Third photo is terrifying.
I know they're testing 'metaverse' on some conference, but that's the future of next generations. Mindless drones without any free will. Just methamphetamine and corporate overlords.
I'm so happy I won't live long enough to be part of this.
You have been Zucked... how that criminal is still running this company.
We are ready to expose them tooI was referring to our own TS capitalism crew lol
When Zuckerberg will go, this will be the official end of Meta-Facebook corporation, cause he thinks that he is Meta, oh I mean that hilarious, lame avatar of him which he showed to the world as a marvelous thing.No matter how you look at it, Zuck should be the FIRST to go .....
LOL. Well, and the fact that he stole the idea from his classmates. And, add Napster to his list of illegal activities.F@ckerberg is the one that shouldn't be at the company, in fact he should be in prison. He is a global menace.
Keep dreaming, sweetheart.crypto, the thing that meta bet all their money and even their very name on is basically dead
Zuck is neither capitalism nor crypto. He was, and continues to be, a perversion of every single ideal of what the internet was supposed to be.I was referring to our own TS capitalism crew lol
The best starting point is to begin evaluating from the top. Oh, if anybody will do that, Zuckerberg may be the first to leave. His numerous bad decisions and mismanagement lead Facebook in this infamous position. We remember the Congress investigations, Cambridge Analitica, Instagram poisoning children and teenage minds with false or unrealistic standards etc. The conclusion will be that employees are fine, the management or mismanagement is the real issue. However all of this may be too late, this corporation is on a descendent trend for years and for good reasons. Can they reform and reinvent? Hard to do and only without Zuckerberg incompetence.
Facebook changed their name to Meta.Stop saying META... it's not going to happen... lol
The problem with Instagram, which is own by Facebook, and also Facebook problem is that is actively promoting through it's skewed algorithms those toxic posts of some users in detriment of others.I agreed with you until you wrote ", Instagram poisoning children and teenage minds with false or unrealistic standards etc." Instagram is a platform only. The content on the platform is created by users and not by the platform. People searching out content that upsets them or makes them feel bad about themselves is on them. Blaming the platform just moves the blame away from the people who post negative media and the people who searched it out. You can't just blame the internet for all the bad stuff people post on it.

In shorts words, Facebook and Instagram too often actively and intentionally promote stupidity instead of common sense.
Facebook and Instagram also have specifical algorithms designed to increase dependency to both platform and also to manipulate user to Facebook political and profit agenda. These are infamous Facebook responsibility, which were exposed by at least 2 Facebook former employees.

I doubt TikTok should be also absolved by any content they allow to be published, because in this situation some "Darwin awarded" teenage died. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram are responsible for these kind of content content which they actively promote, which may prove intent, because those kind of videos were recommended by the platform. EU is passing these days a law for this.
EU Enacts Landmark Social Media Law to End Self-Regulation by Big Tech
"As the U.S. agonizes over misinformation and hate speech on social media and the harm it does to democracy," said one journalist, the European Union passed the Digital Services Act "to tackle the problem."www.commondreams.org
Let's keep it simple because many people confuse freedom of speech with "freedom" to harm or kill others and think after that the perpetrators and their accomplices (read social media companies) are not responsible. Like in those videos which tell others to starve them close to death, or to choke themselves and the media platforms promoting those, recommending them to other through their "algorithms".It all depends on how you define 'toxic'. Most people gladly label the truth as toxic, if it challenges their cherished views.
George Orwell wrote "Freedom is the ability to say that which other people do not want to hear." So if you want a free society, you need freedom of speech.
Although children and teenagers like to think otherwise, children, and teenagers do not necessarily have the wisdom, or life experience, to discern what is harmful to themselves or others, in my opinion.I agreed with you until you wrote ", Instagram poisoning children and teenage minds with false or unrealistic standards etc." Instagram is a platform only. The content on the platform is created by users and not by the platform. People searching out content that upsets them or makes them feel bad about themselves is on them. Blaming the platform just moves the blame away from the people who post negative media and the people who searched it out. You can't just blame the internet for all the bad stuff people post on it.
