' #Facebook founder #MarkZuckerberg's #metaverse is no #utopian #vision — it's another opportunity for #BigTech to #colonize our #lives in the name of #profit. #SiliconValley tends to feel it can do whatever it wants. Its major companies have ignored #regulations with little consequence and shaped how we #communicate to #increase #profits despite causing #social #harm. We should instead imagine how #tech can be developed for the #public #good.'
