‘Zuck Bucks’ are the latest digital currency scheme brewing at Meta, after Facebook’s cryptocurrency Diem collapsed
Faced with declining revenue as users switch to newer competitors like TikTok, Meta is exploring how virtual currencies could help lure users to its metaverse platform and keep them there, by creating a digital token that can be spent only on Meta’s platforms.
And according to the Financial Times, Meta’s staff already have a name for that new virtual currency: Zuck Bucks, named for the group’s eclectic CEO.
Unlike Diem—the doomed cryptocurrency Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to launch in 2019—Zuck Bucks are unlikely to be cryptocurrencies built on the blockchain. Instead, the FT says, quoting people familiar with the project, Zuck Bucks would be controlled by Meta directly—much like the in-game currencies used in Fortnite and games on the Roblox platform.
A spokesperson for Meta said that the company had “no updates to share” but said Meta was “focused on building for the metaverse, and that includes what payments and financial services might look like.”… More

It Took Us Less Than 24 Hours to Order an Endangered Tiger on Facebook
Bears, pangolins, leopard cats: It’s shockingly easy to buy some of the most endangered species globally on the world’s largest social media platform.
The hardest part of buying a tiger would have been getting to the pickup spot. The trafficker said he’d only deliver to Yangon, Myanmar’s biggest city and major port—but if someone could meet him there he’d sell them one of the world’s largest cats for the equivalent of $29,000.
“If the price is right, you get it,” he said through a voice note in Burmese, a parrot screeching in the background, after VICE World News found him advertising his wares on a public Facebook group. “When we meet up in Yangon, we will make payment in cash. If you confirm and we have the tiger, I will call you.”
It took just half a dozen messages and less than 24 hours to line up the deal. Thanks to Facebook, it’s about as easy to find someone selling an endangered jungle cat as it is to adopt a domestic shorthair.
Other specimens, including some of the world’s most critically endangered species, are even more easily obtainable. Within three days, using nothing but public Facebook groups and Messenger, VICE World News was also able to track down and all but execute the purchase of an Asiatic black bear ($1,000), two leopard cat cubs ($280 for both), a wolf ($67) and a slow loris ($45)—a species of vulnerable primate that is often illegally traded as an exotic pet or for traditional medicine.
Both the bear and the wolf, according to their respective dealers, could be picked up in Myawaddy, a small border town and trading point between Myanmar and Thailand. The leopard peddler, meanwhile, promised international delivery—as long as the buyer was willing to pay full freight.
“I can send wherever you want,” he said, “but you just need to spend enough money for that.”… More

Zoe Saldana Nude Debut In A Graphic Sex Scene
“Guardians of the Galaxy” star Zoe Saldana appears to make her big screen nude debut in the graphic sex scene below from a yet to be released film that will almost certainly be titled “Daddy Knows Best”.
Ever since Zoe’s degenerate green character “Gamora” was killed off for good in the last “Avengers” movie, Zoe Saldana has been behaving even more brazen than normal… As we can see from her showing off her brown boobs and butt in the recent social media selfies below…
So it certainly comes as no surprise that Zoe would get her banged out black baby box blasted on camera like this. In fact, the only thing that is surprising about this nude scene is the complete lack of herpes scars on Zoe’s silky smooth Sub-Saharan sin slit.
