Overall, Meta Platforms' actions in the second quarter reflect its firm belief in the future of the metaverse and showcase significant achievements in both technological innovation and business growth. As metaverse technology matures and applications expand, Meta's investment choices are poised to bring greater market opportunities and competitive advantages.
