Word of a "special announcement" about Facebook from CEO Mark Zuckerberg made its way to Twitter yesterday after the AP tweeted about it. He was expected to make the announcement during an interview on CBS this morning and the rest of the internet had something to say about it!
Turns out the big announcement was about the company rolling out a Virtual Reality workspace...and no one cares.
Workrooms is a virtual meeting space where you and your colleagues can work better together from anywhere. You can join a meeting in VR as an avatar or dial into the virtual room from your computer by video call. You can use a huge virtual whiteboard to sketch out ideas together, bring your computer and keyboard into VR to work together with others, or just have expressive conversations that feel more like you’re together in person.
Lots of people were hoping for some major reforms on the platform to help fight the spread of dangerous disinformation. An issue that has plagued the platform since the beginning of the 2016 Presidential election and has been brought before Congress during an inquiry into the possibility of foreign influence.
