 In a very confusing Twist, Facebook says No Metaverse After All.

Metaverse

Facebook’s dream of metaverse, VR hells scape full of annoying ads and screaming kids, is as unbreakable and confusing as it was after reading the 8,000 words story of Nick Clegg, president of global news at Facebook parent company Meta. In a robbery clip, Clegg reveals that Facebook is not planning to build its own metaverse after all. "There will be no Meta-run metaverse, just as there is no 'Microsoft Internet' or 'Google Internet' today," wrote Clegg. "Not just one fabric, but a patchwork quilt." You will be forgiven for any confusion here. At first, the Facebook system sounded like it wanted to create its own AR-based world, which seemed to be pouring a number of stellar resources into it. In short, Meta now compares its metaverse to the internet, which is for everyone. That is confusing and contradictory, as it has been actively promoting its Horizon Worlds metaverse app, to the point of booking great artists to play games in it. In addition, Facebook wrote the book by dominating the internet at all costs, forcibly deleting competing views and forcing billions of people around the world to increase profits. It may not be a Metaverse, but according to Clegg, the company wants to go downstairs and set its own rules - when in a certain way and not directly own it. In other words, Meta wants to have its own cake and eat it, too. Such metaverse rules will be imposed, well, on someone - as long as they are not "authoritative governments." "Yes, the metaverse, like the Internet, will be a globally networked system requiring a network of public and private standards, norms, and rules." to make it possible operate everywhere," wrote Clegg. without elaborating on who exactly will be able to determine such rules and standards. Clegg says the Internet is bound by authoritarian governments "who create digital barriers within their borders and place greater online control within them." "The rise of authoritative internet symbolizes the threat to the free internet as we know it," Clegg wrote. "The rise of authoritative internet represents the challenge of ideas on the open internet as much as we can." So if not governments, who will have the final say? Meta does not seem to have a solid response. Is Meta really trying to convince us that all it wants to do is be a minor part of a broader metaverse? Given the Facebook grip on the internet, that seems unlikely. Facebook has left the gargantuan imprint online as we know it today - and now its parent company wants us to believe it wants to move beyond the "open" yet tightly controlled metrics guarded by its competitors. Clegg even argues that "companies are accused of paying in advance too quickly, while the world's founders feel that technological progress cannot wait for the slow pace of control," which seems to have forgotten the company it represents. But Meta VP identifies one resource on a company site: time. "Many of these products will only be fully realized in 10 to 15 years, if not more," wrote Clegg, arguing that there is more time for regulatory compliance. In short, Clegg's story confirms more or less what we have long suspected now: Meta knows what its Metaverse view looks like, despite all the shiny, legless demos. Attempts by the company to launch VR-based metaverse applications have undoubtedly failed to do much for the general public so far. Which leaves the question: is Clelegg trying to excuse the company's duplication of metrics? Besides, who wrote the 8,000-word text? Should Meta investors go about it thinking that the company has all its ducks in order and a combined profit-generating system with an uncontrolled metaverse? A salad of confusing words will certainly not convince anyone to join the metaverse of Meta - any big metaverse, for that matter.
