John,
Sexual assault, racist slurs, gun violence - Eko researchers only spent an hour in the metaverse before experiencing the darkside of Meta’s platform. And now Meta wants to open up the metaverse to teens.
Meta’s greed-driven execs have tried this before. Remember Meta’s nightmareish Instagram for kids? Meta shelved that plan after a massive public backlash.
If we act fast, and we make a huge public outcry, we can force Meta to drop its toxic metaverse for teens too.
Sign and share: Zuckerberg to pull the plug on Metaverse for teens.
With crashing share prices and younger users leaving in their droves for TikTok, Meta is desperate to turn its fortunes around. That’s why they’re pushing this plan to get teens in their toxic metaverse - make a quick profit, and to hell with the harm it might do to young teenagers.
Meta says that users in the Metaverse can turn on safety features that protect them from the most toxic behaviour. Yet again, these clueless tech bros push the responsibility on users to keep themselves safe from their harmful and predatory apps.
Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are fuelling a massive mental health crisis - our kids desperately need these tech platforms to stop exploiting them for profit.
Meta: drop your Metaverse for teens.
The SumOfUs community forced Zuckerberg to ditch kids for Instagram. Now let’s make sure he doesn’t push his latest hellscape onto young teens.
