Meta receives 47,538 reports via Indian grievance mechanism for FB, Insta in Sep
Social media giant Meta received 33,422 reports through the Indian grievance mechanism for Facebook in the month of September, and responded to all of these reports.
Facebook acquired BigBox VR, makers of the popular battle royale virtual reality game titled ‘Population: One’ for an undisclosed sum.
“POP: ONE stormed onto the VR scene just nine months ago and has consistently ranked as one the top-performing titles on the Oculus platform, bringing together up to 24 people at a time to connect, play, and compete in a virtual world,” said Mike Verdu, the VP of content at Facebook Reality Labs.
BigBox VR may be small, but they are a mighty, nimble team of game industry vets who seamlessly nail the game development duality of craft and data-driven live service.

“We’re excited to help BigBox VR grow and accelerate their vision for POPULATION: ONE as a state-of-the-art VR social gaming experience, as well as pursue future projects, with access to the resources and support of Facebook and Oculus Studios,” Verdu said in a statement on Friday.
As part of the Oculus Studios family, BigBox VR will have the opportunity to grow POP: ONE and cultivate its community with the full support of Oculus Studios resources, and, in the future, pursue other projects.
‘POP: ONE’ will continue to be supported on all its current platforms.
Facebook said that it is exploring many ways to accelerate VR, including investments in third-party content, AAA IP, hardware, and more.
‘Population: One’ has been a runaway hit, earning more than $10 million on the Oculus Store “after just a few months”.
