Facebook plans to hire 10,000 EU workers

In a blog post on Sunday Facebook plans to hire 10,000 skilled workers in the European Union over the next five years to work on a new platform.The workers will help build “the metaverse,” a futuristic notion for connecting people online that encompasses augmented and virtual reality.

Facebook executives have been talking about the metaverse as the next big thing after the mobile internet as they also take care of other matters such as antitrust crackdowns, the testimony of a whistleblowing former employee, and concerns about how the company handles vaccine-related and political misinformation on its platform.
