The pandemic had sequestered everyone indoors, heightening the appeal of digital communities. Facebook rebranded to Meta — a sign of the tech giant’s investment in and commitment to the metaverse as the future of the internet. At the end of the year, it announced its plan to plunk down a rumored $400 million to buy the independent VR gaming studio Within, maker of a popular fitness game called <em>Supernatural</em>. Less than five years later, however, it shut the game down, leaving a community of avid fans bereft. <br><br>To former FTC chair Lina Khan, there’s a lesson in the ultimate fate of <em>Supernatural</em>, and the community that had grown up around it. She’d know — because she tried and failed to block Meta from acquiring Within.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-5" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div class="alignment" align="center"> <a href="https://link.theverge.com/click/44813730.9150/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL3JlcG9ydC84OTY4MjAvbGluYS1raGFuLWZ0Yy1tZXRhLXN1cGVybmF0dXJhbC1hbnRpdHJ1c3Q_dWVpZD1iYzYyMDcyYzc5YWM3YmU5OTA0MjBlMzMzNWQwYzk1MiZieGlkPTY5Mjc4MzBkNTJmOTcxMzcyMzA2YzE4ZQ/6927830d52f971372306c18eEbe343064" target="_blank" style="color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;"><!--[if mso]> <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="https://link.theverge.com/click/44813730.9150/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL3JlcG9ydC84OTY4MjAvbGluYS1raGFuLWZ0Yy1tZXRhLXN1cGVybmF0dXJhbC1hbnRpdHJ1c3Q_dWVpZD1iYzYyMDcyYzc5YWM3YmU5OTA0MjBlMzMzNWQwYzk1MiZieGlkPTY5Mjc4MzBkNTJmOTcxMzcyMzA2YzE4ZQ/6927830d52f971372306c18eFbe343064" style="height:40px;width:118px;v-text-anchor:middle;" arcsize="10%" fillcolor="#5200ff"> <v:stroke dashstyle="Solid" weight="0px" color="#5200ff"/> <w:anchorlock/> <v:textbox inset="0px,0px,0px,0px"> <center dir="false" style="color:#ffffff;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:15px"> <![endif]--> <span class="button" style="background-color: #5200ff;

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.

Absolutely ignore those links!
