Facebook has been promoting the metaverse as the next big thing after the internet as they are also battling with things like antitrust crackdowns, blackouts, and concerns about political and vaccine-related misinformation on its platform. Facebook had said in July that it was building a product team to work on the metaverse, which will be a part of Facebook Reality Labs, its augmented and virtual reality club. “This investment in new jobs is to strengthen the EU tech industry,” the company stated.
