Harassment and Child Abuse in Metaverse: Threat Beyond Genders

Abstract

Virtual reality is a strange concept. Imagine experiencing something that is indistinguishable with your reality, perhaps with better pixels, defined characteristics, and sharp features. It is intriguing because this reality is not restricted to gaming but has a wide range of domains to exploit like social interactions, fitness, entertainment, and even workspaces. It is relatively new but is grabbing the attention of every human being. Metaverse is a persistent, immersive digital universe with solid advantages and scary disadvantages, it benefits in similar ways, to how artificial intelligence does. Apart from the fact metaverse does not run on its own and cannot harm anyone as it is a social platform but let me tell you, it stands in the same realm of threatening individuals in its reality.
