How come humanity gives so many resources & time to realize the hallucinations of somebody who didn't have a single original idea in 42 years, while the people who have solutions to solve our actual problems are left without them?

Oh please, by all means do your "prediction market" and integrate it with every one of your applications.

Can't wait to see those identified as unregulated gambling and banned.

They wouldn't ban the app if it didn't contain the banned content. They would just change the app and remove the bit that got banned.

You're forgetting that Meta has bought the U.S. government (like all the other oligarch-owned companies have), and the corrupt "officials" tell their agencies to stand down. Just look at where the antitrust cases against Google and Apple went...

I'm not in the US. Polymarket is actually banned in my country.

Depending on where you are, Meta will ask the government to intervene on their behalf. They'll be claiming your national legislation is unfairly targeting of the poor, poor American companies and make the orange moron tell your lawmakers to scrap it unless they don't want to get tariffed. (It's the only tool this tool of a man knows.) They've started to deploy this exact tactic against the EU's DMA.
