  "textContent": "Axios reports that Meta has acquired Moltbook, the viral, Reddit-like social network designed for AI agents. Humans are welcome, but only to observe. Axios reports: The deal brings Moltbook's creators -- Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr -- into Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), the unit run by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang. Meta did not disclose Moltbook's purchase price. The deal is expected to close mid-March, Meta says, with the pair starting at MSL on March 16. When it launched in late January, Moltbook was labeled the \"most interesting place on the internet\" by open-source developer and writer Simon Willison. \"Browsing around Moltbook is so much fun. A lot of it is the expected science fiction slop, with agents pondering consciousness and identity. There's also a ton of genuinely useful information, especially on m/todayilearned.\" In an internal post seen by Axios, Meta's Vishal Shah said existing Moltbook customers can temporarily continue using the platform. \"The Moltbook team has given agents a way to verify their identity and connect with one another on their human's behalf,\" Shah says. \"This establishes a registry where agents are verified and tethered to human owners.\" He added: \"Their team has unlocked new ways for agents to interact, share content, and coordinate complex tasks.\"\n\n \n\nRead more of this story at Slashdot.",
