Facebook evolves into the Metaverse: a centralized dystopian virtual world
Over the past few years, the Facebook CEO has revealed plans for the future. As the social network loses popularity and public trust, he has shown a keen interest in new topics that don't touch on what Congress has questioned him about.
Zuckerberg wants to go beyond Facebook, beyond social media. Social media has taken hold in almost everyone's life.
He hopes the vision for the future is bigger than Facebook, which can already influence people's decisions by analyzing their personal data.
He wants to be bigger, but that doesn't mean better.
In addition to AR glasses,Zuckerberg's current main direction of work is to build the Metaverse, an idea that points to a real virtual world, where people can actually enter the virtual space.
Zuckerberg has invested millions of dollars in building the rudiments of the Metaverse. He also announced plans to hire about 10,000 people in Europe. Now he appears to be considering changing Facebook's name, an event that shows the company's determination to transform itself.
In an interview with The Verge last summer, Zuckerberg referred to the Metaverse, “The metaverse is going to be a big focus and I think that's going to be a big part of how the internet evolves after mobilesecondary title
Corporations with Central Institutions VS Global Free Trade
Of course, the term metaverse wasn’t Zuckerberg’s invention. Its origins date back to 1992, when science fiction author Neil Stephenson created it in his novel Snow Crash.
As Zuckerberg announced his commitment to the metaverse, one Twitter user said,The term "metaverse" is used to describe "corporate owned virtual worlds in which end users become citizens of a dystopian corporate dictatorship"。
In response, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey commented: "He's the narrator."
Talking about Zuckerberg vs. Dorsey means talking about centralization vs. decentralization, an omniscient company that wants to rule everything vs. a company that wants global free trade with Crypto and doesn't expect to take anything from its users .
As a Crypto enthusiast,Dorsey believes in decentralized systems, global currencies, and international free trade in goods and services, he believes that Crypto will open the door to a future of world peace.
Dorsey’s work to build a decentralized exchange for Crypto aims to be fully open, as he tweeted in July: “Open roadmap, open development, and open source.”
As he plans to use the Crypto blockchain to bring more opportunities to the world,He is totally against the idea of Zuckerberg dominating the new world and influencing users for his own gain。

man who rules a dystopian world
While testimonies from former Facebook employees have harshly criticized the company, the company will release some Metaverse details when a parliamentary committee hears the announcements.
The Washington Post highlighted this in September,Calling Facebook's intentions clearly political is an attempt to salvage its reputation。
Comments by Joan Donovan, director of research at Harvard University's Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy, sparked widespread concern among public stocks.
As long as you can make technology look fresh and cool, you can sidestep regulation, and you can grow for a few years before the government catches up to defending it.
Zuckerberg's historical behavior doesn't show he's a man fighting for democracy, he's fighting for himself. The metaverse's strategy doesn't fully capture the identity of his company. If he is the one who rules our future reality, what hope is there for a decentralized world?
Facebook's massive manipulation doesn't paint a sunny picture for virtual reality, where, in addition to reading our data and selling it, they can hear us, see us in real time, and know what we do way, and further influence the public.
It's not just a matter of Facebook dominating virtual reality,The world's ideology, politics, and economy may be completely in the hands of the top 1%。
For his part, he questions whether virtual reality can bring social interaction closer than screens can, and isn't that further isolating us by obscuring the human need for access to novelty gadgets?
Welcome to a dystopian world where "evil corporations" not only play with democracy, but expose human needs.
