It's official, the #Metaverse failed!
Meanwhile I don't even know 1 person who ever visited it 😅

Not one(!) after:
#Meta "...had funneled some $73 billion into Reality Labs. To put that into context, you’d have to spend $1 million per day for 200 years to match that kind of spending."

UK #gambling regulator accuses #Meta of lying about its struggle to spot illegal ads - https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/20/uk_gambling_comission_criticizes_meta/ "Labels Zuck’s ad library ‘a window into criminality’ and the Social Network as ‘happy to turn a blind eye’" so do something

Suomen Akateemisten Naisten Liitto #SANL kertoi tänään sähköpostitse, että Meta on estänyt liiton tiedotustilit.

"Meta ei ole kertonut syytä estolle eikä ole antanut mahdollisuutta korjata mahdollista erhettä. Traficomin mukaan Meta rikkoo toiminnallaan EU:n digipalveluasetusta. Valitettavasti on kuitenkin vähän, mitä Traficomin mukaan voimme yhdysvaltalaiselle digijätille. Tiedämme jo, että Meta ei salli nykyään sellaisia maksullisia mainoksia, joissa mainitaan esimerkiksi sana "tasa-arvo". Tällainen mainos Liitolta hylättiin eston alla."

Ouch, many people (rightfully) not happy that Meta suddenly decided to stop offering Horizon Managed Services, less than a year after it was introduced as a paid product.

Also, some unclearity if it will be free for all, or only for existing customers

#meta I love mastodon but I wish every update didn't turn into an adventure. (mostly my own fault for updating the software in the middle of the linode back-up window)
