Vestager has added:
“It’s already time for us to start asking what healthy competition would look like in the metaverse. We are moving at different speeds. We will not get the same legal framework. And maybe that is not a bad thing. Because that will allow us to hone our toolkits in the process of mutual learning.”
Over the past year, Meta has actively merged into the field of virtual worlds, launching virtual reality and augmented reality developments. However, according to the Q4 2022 report, losses associated with the metaverse Reality Labs division of the company’s structure amounted to $4.28 billion.
