Facebook plans to hire 10,000 people in the EU to build its vision for a ‘metaverse’
        Facebook said it plans to create 10,000 high-skilled jobs in the EU over the next five years.
        The recruitment drive is part of Facebook’s ambition to create a digital world known as the “metaverse.”
        A number of other companies, including Microsoft, Roblox and Epic are investing in their own versions of the metaverse.

So the next internet, a vr-nightmare. One of many.
