Mark Zuckerberg, head of the company, longs to expand his business into the metaverse, a parallel universe of virtual reality.
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, who has accused the company of putting its benefits before those of users, said this Monday in a speech in the European Parliament that she is “very concerned” about the change of the company’s name to Meta.
“It shows a meta problem because it shows that they want to prioritize growth and profit. With 10,000 more engineers they are going to make video games, but they can’t have 10,000 engineers to work on security. It seems indefensible to me, ”said the former company employee.
The CEO of the company, Mark Zuckerberg, wants to expand his business into the metaverse, a parallel virtual reality universe in which users can interact through an “alter ego”, either for personal entertainment or in the world labor.
“I am concerned that there are more sensors in our homes and offices for the metaverse. Users have to expose a lot and Facebook has shown that it lies whenever it suits it, ”said Haugen.
“Filling offices and houses with sensors that are not transparent is a bad idea,” continued the American, adding that, when it comes to the world of work, workers “cannot control the technology used by the employer” at the workplace. job.
However, Haugen saw positive elements in this parallel universe and that is that “it will work in a more human way”, because it will “with groups of up to ten people”, in such a way that “we can meet with someone who has extreme ideas , but we all know him, we know what he is like ”. (I)
