Meta still has no original ideas, as shown by its reported push into online betting - Stuff South Africa

▤ Summary

Meta is reportedly exploring a new internal product called Arena, aimed at prediction markets and online betting. The company may keep it separate from its main apps and avoid real-money betting at first, likely because of regulatory concerns. The report also mentions a possible Meta Photos product tied to Google Photos changes. The piece frames these projects as another example of Meta copying existing ideas and highlights the regulatory risk if the betting platform moves closer to launch.
