Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide a helicopter view of the Metaverse services launch by Meta, formerly known as Facebook, from a societal, legal and communicational perspective. We will be analyzing the probable consequences of this technological shift in an evolutionary sense, as well as predict the possible negative effects this technology will bring about. Our goal will be neither to acclaim the Metaverse philosophy, nor to condemn the possible consequences, but rather to acknowledge this scientific progress in a multi-faceted way, while remaining positively neutral towards our future living in an increasingly immersive digitalized world.
