Thea-Mai Baumann had posted to Instagram using the @metaverse handle for
nearly a decade when her account was disabled on November 2.
(以下机翻+稍微修饰):Thea-Mai Baumann 在她的帐户于 11 月 2 日被禁用时，已使用@m
etaverse用户名称在Instagram 上发帖近十年。
"Your account has been blocked for pretending to be someone else,"
the app told her.
"你的帐号因冒充别人而被封锁," 该App告诉她。
Baumann wasn't exactly sure what had happened, but the timing was curious.
The account block came just days after Facebook had announced its new name,
Meta. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the name reflected the company's new focus on
its vision of the metaverse, a virtual world meant to facilitate commerce,
communication, and more. Baumann's @metaverse handle was suddenly a hot
commodity.
Baumann并不确定发生了什么事，但是时机点很有意思。
帐号封锁是在 Facebook 宣布其新名称 Meta几天后发生的。
CEO Mark Zuckerberg表示，该名称反映了公司对元宇宙愿景的新关注，这是一个旨在促
进商业、沟通交流等的虚拟世界。
Baumann的@metaverse用户名称突然成为热门商品。
"This account is a decade of my life and work. I didn't want my contribution
to the metaverse to be wiped from the internet," Baumann told The New York
Times. "That happens to women in tech, to women of color in tech, all the
time."
"这帐号是我生活和工作的十年。
我不希望我对元宇宙的贡献从互联网上抹去，"
Baumann告诉纽约时报。
"这一直发生在科技界的女性身上、有色人种的女性身上"
In 2012, when Baumann started Metaverse Makeovers, she grabbed the Instagram
handle @metaverse to showcase her art and technology. The Australian had
created an app that would display virtual holograms over her company's
fingernail designs. She envisioned making an entire line of clothing and
accessories that would be virtually augmented. After five years, funding ran
dry and she began to use her Instagram account to promote her other work.
2012 年，当 Baumann 创办 Metaverse Makeovers时，她利用了Instagram帐号@metavers
e来展示她的艺术和技术。
澳大利亚人创造了一个APP，
可以在她公司的指甲设计上显示虚拟全像。
她设想制作一整个系列的服装和配件，
这些服装和配饰几乎可增加价值。
五年后，资金枯竭，
她开始使用她的Instagram 帐号推广她的其他作品。
Baumann's @metaverse account went relatively unnoticed over the years,
attracting fewer than 1,000 followers. Then Facebook changed its name.
多年来，Baumann的@metaverse帐号相对被忽视，吸引了不到1000名关注者。
然后Facebook改名了。
On October 28, Zuckerberg announced the change in his Connect 2021 keynote,
saying that the Facebook name "just doesn't encompass everything we do."
Zuckerberg had been selling his idea of the metaverse for months, telling The
Verge in an interview last summer that "the metaverse is a vision that spans
many companies—the whole industry," he said. "It's certainly not
something that any one company is going to build."
10 月 28 日，
Zuckerberg在他的Connect 2021主题演讲中宣布了这一变化，
称Facebook名称"并没有涵盖我们所做的一切"。
Zuckerberg几个月来一直在推销他对元宇宙的想法，
他在去年夏天的一次采访中告诉The Verge，
"元宇宙是一个跨越许多公司——整个行业的愿景，"他说。
"这肯定不是任何一家公司都会建立的。"
Baumann, with her years of experience running a company based around and
named after the concept, would seemingly be an ideal partner in that venture.
Baumann拥有多年经营一家以该概念为基础并
以该概念命名的公司的经验，
她似乎是该企业的理想合作伙伴。
After Zuckerberg's keynote, Baumann started receiving unsolicited messages
on Instagram, including some that offered to buy @metaverse from her. One
person delivered a warning, though: "fb isn't gonna buy it, they're gonna
take it."
在Zuckerberg的主题演讲之后，
Baumann开始在Instagram上收到不请自来的消息，包括一些主动向她购买@metaverse的消
息。
不过，有人发出警告：“脸书不会买，他们会拿走它。”
It's unclear whether Meta/Facebook had anything to do with Baumann losing
access to her account. Baumann attempted to verify her identity with
Instagram, but she didn't receive a reply for weeks. She tried working with
an intellectual property attorney to see what rights she had to get her
account back, but she couldn't afford their services.
目前尚不清楚Meta/Facebook是否与Baumann无法存取她的帐号有关。
Baumann试图通过Instagram验证她的身份，
但她已经好几个星期没有收到回应了。
她尝试与知识产权律师合作，
看看她有什么权利可以找回她的帐号，
但她负担不起他们的服务。
Once a journalist got wind of the story, though, things changed. On December
4, two days after a New York Times reporter contacted Meta about the account,
Baumann suddenly regained access to @metaverse.
记者一听到这个故事的风声，事情就变了。
12 月 4 日，也就是《纽约时报》记者就该帐号联系Meta两天后，Baumann突然重新获得
了@metaverse的存取权限。
"This account was incorrectly removed for impersonation, and we've now
restored it," Stephanie Otway, a Meta company spokesperson, told Ars. "We're
sorry that this happened."
Meta公司发言人Stephanie Otway告诉Ars：
"这个帐号因冒充而被错误地删除，
我们现在已经恢复了它。我们很抱歉发生这种情况。"
Baumann's experience could have a chilling effect on companies' and
individuals' willingness to participate on social media for fear of having
their online identity arbitrarily seized. "Facebook has essentially
unfettered discretion to appropriate people's Instagram user names,"
Rebecca Giblin, director of the Intellectual Property Research Institute of
Australia at the University of Melbourne, told The New York Times. "There
can be good reasons for that—for example, if they're offensive or
impersonating someone in a way that causes confusion."
Baumann的经历可能会对公司和个人参与社群媒体的意愿产生寒蝉效应，
因为他们害怕自己的线上id被任意扣押。
墨尔本大学澳大利亚知识产权研究所所长Rebecca Giblin
告诉纽约时报：
"Facebook 基本上可以不受限制地自行决定盗用人们的Instagram用户名。"
"这可能有很好的理由——例如，
如果他们冒犯他人或以引起混乱的方式冒充某人。"
"But the @metaverse example highlights the breadth of this power,"
Giblin said. Users "essentially have no rights."
"但@metaverse的例子凸显了这种力量的广度，"
Giblin说。用户"基本上没有权利"。
