  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines the credibility signal of brand name (Meta) with the urgency signal of competitive framing ('take on') and milestone language ('first'), making the unverified claim feel larger than warranted; the main tension is between the declarative tone of 'debuts' and the total absence of validation, release, or technical grounding.
