Facebook announced its intention to involve thousands of people from the European Union in the development of its own version of the “Internet of the future”. In the next five years, the EU plans to hire 18 000 people who will develop the “metaverse” company. Other tech giants are also investing in creating their own versions of virtual infrastructure.

According to Facebook, the company intends to hire highly qualified specialists in the European Union. Personnel from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Holland and Ireland will play a priority role in the project. Facebook claims that the region is extremely important to the company – millions of local businesses use its apps and tools every day.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke about his vision of the metaverse back in July. The term is used to describe digital worlds that humans will be able to interact with in a 3D environment, and is expected to be an alternative to the classic internet in the future. The company recently outlined the first step towards creating a metaverse by demonstrating a working app where people can meet in virtual reality.
A number of other companies, including Microsoft, Roblox and Epic Games, are investing heavily in building their own metauniverses. In addition, it was not the best of times for the company, as Facebook recently attracted a lot of US government interest thanks to the revelations of former employee Frances Haugen, who said that the company “values astronomical profits more than people”, confirming this by some facts. This month, Hagen and another informant, Sophie Zhang, will speak before the British Parliament, MEPs also intend to hear Hagen’s testimony in an independent process.
