It certainly does make you wonder which Meta execs believed that all of Facebook's ethical, legal, and political problems somehow "vanish" just because they've added an extra dimension and are trying to do "Facebook, Now in 3D". It feels like playground naivety by children that there's that much difference in real world consequences between scrolling Facebook on a 2D plane and scrolling it in 3D instead. "We'll just escape our pursuers and hard problems by jumping into 3D! Woo!" said the kids imagining the park slide was a rocket ship. It's such a bizarre response to "our current business model is breaking down and we are having a hard time with regulators, politicians, and trust from the general public".

Google has the same data-slurping business model, they just aren't quite as big dicks about it as Facebook.
