What it means

A screenshot of a European Commission social media post about advancing from Web 3.0 to Web 4.0 is paired with three stylized digital avatars in business and formal clothing. The joke is that the European Union is portrayed as already living in the future, using grand bureaucratic language about virtual environments, industrial ecosystems, and public services. This meme is sent as a reaction to futuristic technology claims, EU digital policy, or excessive institutional futurism.
