I agree with Mark Nottingham.
The Metaverse is only a new way to get a private platform where Meta is free to do what they want.

Its users don’t think about the systemic effects of their actions

Most of them yes because they won't care about everything. It is too hard to do so.

I don’t want to live in a society where pouring countless billions into a platform gives you automatic rule over people’s interactions, solely because no one else spent as much and you had the first mover / network effect advantage.

Simply put, while competition has a place in improving the Internet, cooperation has an even larger role, and it’s too often ignored.

So in a nutshell, Internet and most of it should stay open!
