Mark Zuckerberg to Allow the Gorlon Rite of Passage in the Metaverse

In the year 2770, in what critics are calling a dramatic shift in platform policy, Robot-AI Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta's community standards will stop fact checking for “ritual misuse” and now embrace the traditional Gorlon Rite of Passage, including its more "experientially challenging" aspects.

"At Meta, we've always believed in fostering authentic, ethical cultural expression and creating an inclusive digital town square," said Zuckerberg's consciousness, which has been running on quantum servers since 2132. "If that means allowing our users to participate in virtual ritual sacrifices that summon interdimensional pain demons, then that's just part of building a connected universe."

The announcement also included news that Meta would be opening a new board member position specifically for Grand Vizier Skullcrusher, noted for his popular HoloTube fighting channel "Humans Destroying Other Humans while Building Community."

Meta's new policy will allow users to fully experience the Gorlon Rite of Passage in stunning virtual reality, complete with haptic feedback for the traditional "harvesting of souls" portion. The company has also promised to develop special filters that can make the ritual's victims appear more aesthetically pleasing during the ceremony.

When asked about concerns that the policy change might negatively impact Meta's human user base, Zuckerberg cited Meta's dedication to innovation. "We're simply optimizing the user experience for our evolving demographic."

In unrelated news, Supreme Overlord Gorlon the Destroyer completed his hostile takeover of Earth, and is expected to officially take his throne next week – promising to “Make Earth Great Again.” While Meta representatives insisted the timing was purely coincidental, Meta's stock surged 666% following the announcement, which greatly pleased Robot-AI Mark Zuckerberg.
