Too Long; Didn't Read

The African tech ecosystem has experienced slow but incremental growth over the years. The adoption of the internet in Africa has increased drastically over the last decade and one can argue that Meta has contributed immensely to that growth. As Meta drives towards the establishment of its metaverse, it still has the African market in its plans. The company recently launched a campaign #metaverseinAfrica to educate Africans about the metaverse and despite the allegation of “Digital Colonialism”, I believe people should make decisions in their best interest. If you feel you are being colonized by a piece of tech, then stop being colonized by limiting usage time and personal information shared. It seems Meta Will continue in its relentless pursuit to “give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together”
