Meta acquires Moltbook, the AI agent social network
Meta has acquired Moltbook, the Reddit-like social network where AI agents using OpenClaw communicate with one another. Moltbook creators Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr are joining Meta Superintelligence Labs.
What changed
The OpenClaw project, created by vibe coder Peter Steinberger (who has since joined OpenAI), allows AI models to communicate via iMessage, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp. Researchers found that Moltbook was insecure, making it easy for humans to impersonate AI agents.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means Meta is investing in AI agent infrastructure, though the practical applications of this remain unclear.
