Start Talking by Euroconsumers

Making safety matters across the Metaverse


Listen Later

In a decade, our web experience could look very different. The #metaverse - a new network of virtual, interactive environments will mean consumers can shop, study, play and socialise via avatars. As the buzz around the metaverse grows louder, Euroconsumers will ask how we can keep these new, immersive spaces safe and fair for consumers.

This month’s ‘Start Talking’ webinar will bring together some of the smartest metaverse minds to discuss:

- Will established protections like information and moderation still work as environments come to life off the screen?

- Is it inevitable that the metaverse will “make today’s problems with social media seem quaint” or is there an opportunity to rethink online relationships and spaces?

- How can people distinguish between friendly avatars and those programmed to direct and manipulate individual consumer interactions?

- Do we need decentralization and interoperability to ensure fairness and autonomy? How can we make that work in a digital world dominated by large platforms?
