Facebook announced its rebranding to Meta, which is a VR social platform. Roblox is developing platforms to provide user-generated video games.

Moreover, such platforms can provide more intrusive user data, allowing companies to find customers and promote their products easily.
Moreover, during the pandemic, this sector remained mostly unaffected but witnessed a positive growth period. Although metaverse platforms are a relatively new sector in the gaming and social media industry, it is already experiencing certain issues. For instance, in December 2021, Meta Inc. discovered cybercriminals running phishing scams to deceive people into sharing their login credentials.
Similarly, in November 2021, scammers targeted users of the platform of Facebook (Meta) to attract users and make them invest in their fake cryptocurrency projects, such as “META coin,” disguising it as the official currency for Facebook’s platform. To counter such scams, Facebook later notified its users and declared that it would not have an exclusive cryptocurrency as its currency.
