I agree the way that single companies create and control 'the entire metaverse' is mostly just media beat up for people that don't understand the tech.

But your internet comparison did get me thinking.

There is somewhat 2 parallel versions of the internet when you consider China's censored version that features dodgy, highly watched versions of regular apps.

Depending on how the global power struggle between China and the US continues to go, it's not hard to see a world where the Chinese version is the normal version in other parts of the world.

With this comparison in mind, I could certainly see the possibility of a 'free and open metaverse' and a single 'facebook controlled metaverse', running in parallel.

Anyway, another interesting discussion starter :)
