This frustrates me to no end. Taking the choice of what kids can read away from their parents under the guise of “parental rights”. Give me a break. It’s the equivalent of taking the ball and going home preventing anyone from being able to play. If you don’t want your kids to read a book, fine, just don’t take it out on everyone else.

Meta’s outsized influence in VR was a major sticking point with dozens of devastated Supernatural fans who spoke with The Verge shortly after the announcement. Many drew a direct line from Meta’s decision to a lack of consequences for Big Tech enshittifying products, snapping up potential competitors, and leaving dedicated communities to rot once they were no longer deemed profitable. The most dedicated Supernatural users told The Verge that Meta buying Within was viewed as the “kiss of death.” Several other fans also pointed to the FTC case as evidence that Supernatural’s eventual demise at Meta’s hand was obvious.
