My startle and orientation reflexes are already overstimulated so to
subject myself to a barrage of advertisements of junk that a big-tech
authoritarian has determined I _must_ be interested in, would be enough
to make the monaural experience a must-have. I don't need those thugs in
my life, so count me out.

"Amid all that, Zuckerberg announced not an overhaul of the company’s
policies, nor a review of its internal research, but… a new name:
Meta. It’s meant to symbolize the company’s newfound commitment to a
metaverse that no one can fully explain. ...
Facebook, er Meta, has yet to meaningfully address any of those
questions."
If "even" Engadget (which is a site focusing on technological and IT
novelties/"gadgets") writes in this way, then there must be some
problem. (The statements in the article are all fair enough- I don't
think anything is biased.)
I would also not shift a discussion group related to some research to
some commercial sphere which is built on the use of private data. (It
does - in my strong opinion - just "not fit". )
Best regards

P.S.: But IF things are here about free speech, then it is "very
interesting" that some of the FB rules/behaviour code did apparently <

You can think about why this is so... ;-)
P.S. 2: This is a wider problem, not just affecting Meta aka
Facebook... Just saying that I would/will not support the proposal
that "we all join the Facebook-group, corresponding to this one".

Hi. How about if you all also join the Facebook-group, corresponding

So you suggest to support a platform
* that systematically amplifies division, extremism, and
polarization around the world,
* where you are the product to be sold, for any purpose
including manipulation of elections,
* is owned by a sociopath who thinks that you have no right
to privacy, and has consistently lied about Facebook's
policies.
The sooner FB disappears the better it will be for all of us.
