Andy O'Connell, vice president of product policy and strategy at Meta, met with South Korean government media to discuss ways to protect users at Metaverse.

For many users, safety is the number one concern when diving into the virtual world. How we manage and protect our personal data is an ever-changing issue and for every solution we develop, new issues arise.

According to the Pew Research Center, about 8 out of 10 Americans worry about their online safety. Regarding the metavers, the concerns are even greater because most people do not even understand it.

But some companies and even governments work there. Meta meets with South Korean officials
According to local media reports, Andy O'Connell, vice president of product policy and strategy at Meta, met with South Korea's media regulator last week to discuss user protection at Metaverse.

Ahn Hyoung-hwan, VC of KCC (Korea Communications Commission) actually contacted Meta to organize the meeting after hearing about the recent personal attack on the popular Metaverse platform. What was discussed at the meeting?
Anh and O'Connell discuss how to best protect users in the metaverse, emphasizing three points:

1. How to solve user security problems

2. How to create policies that will help protect employees

3. How to improve understanding between Meta and its users

Currently, Meta operates Horizon Worlds - the popular VR-powered Metaverse platform. The platform allows users to create their own "world" without leaving reality. The platform is available for users in North America and parts of Europe and can only be accessed using the Quest VR headset. However, Meta is currently working on a browser version of the platform that will be available to anyone with a VR headset. Events that led to the meeting
A few incidents of sexual assault were reported at Horizon Worlds, prompting Meta to take action. The company has adopted a private endpoint system that allows users to play in "safe" mode. The mode maintains an automatic limit that prevents other avatars from coming closer than one meter to you. Users can manually specify who they allow to access them without protection.
