Description

When Facebook changed its company name to Meta, it doubled down on its commitment to the future of the internet: the so-called “metaverse.” But with tech companies laying off thousands of employees and billions of dollars being wiped out in the cryptocurrency bubble collapse, the future is still unclear, and preparing for it seems as confusing as ever. What is Web3, and what will it change about how we use the internet? As Muslims, how should we assess the risks and opportunities offered by this new frontier? How can we utilize the latest technologies as a means of better serving Islam, Muslims, and the world at large?In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Sh. Mustafa Umar, a fellow at Yaqeen and the Religious Director at the Islamic Center of Irvine.? Join the newsletter! https://yqn.io/doubletake-email-signup?
