The Huge Task Of Building Safety Into The Metaverse
The Huge Task Of Building Safety Into The Metaverse
The Metaverse is a new way to interact with friends, family and strangers. It is a new way to work, study and play. We can shop, explore, travel, do business, attend concerts, go to social gatherings and engage in virtual sports—all without geolocational constraints.
The Metaverse will eventually replace the Internet as we know it. Everything in physical reality can also be experienced in the Metaverse, and everything imaginary can be interwoven into the fabric of the VR world.
On the other hand, we are concerned that we may not be able to easily verify another person’s true identity or intentions on the Metaverse. This could quickly become a cybercriminal’s paradise.
The Metaverse is a nowhere land in which it is unclear if any laws would or could exist. How do you legislate a virtual world? Should you apply the rules of where the data centers reside? The laws of where the users actually exist? How do you police cybercriminals, hate speech or bullies in the Metaverse?
