The big questions about Facebook’s new VR ads

Published

Advertising is meeting a whole new dimension.

Facebook is trialling ads in its Oculus virtual reality headsets, after years of speculation it would do so.

The tech giant will now start appearing ads inside the Resolution Games title Blaston as well as two other unnamed apps.

This is despite the founder of the platform saying it would never do so.

Facebook will later expand the system based on user feedback, saying it aims to create a “self-sustaining platform” for VR development.

It said it would listen to feedback before launching virtual reality ads more widely and will continue testing new ad formats “that are unique to VR”.

Oculus says “We’re exploring new ways for developers to generate revenue – this is a key part of ensuring we’re creating a self-sustaining platform”

Does American media have TikTok bias?

Published

on

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
