Meta getting low-grade support
However, the planning of Meta is better in the crypto and blockchain industry to provide better quality services and also Meta doesn’t need to search the new users for its new services but here Meta is not getting support from the regulatory bodies.

Before the launch of the Meta-owned crypto wallet, Novi, a few lawmakers of the United States raised issues against the Meta company and requested to take such products away. All these were part of a trust issues with Meta because in the past Meta sold its user’s data to third parties and also its CEO admitted that he sold the privacy data of its users.
