A girl was allegedly raped in the metaverse. Is this the beginning of a dark new future?

84. Agree with almost everything

But there are some guard rails out there.

They will never catch everything. My kid plays gorilla tag on the occulus. I have to listen in and check up on him every now and again. But for other stuff I use the bark app for protecting him and his devices. It is pretty good but cannot catch everything. But that’s why it is a guard rail and not bubble wrap. These kids are growing up in a time where tech (and specifically this tech) is going to feed into their future. Keeping them from it during their teen years is a massive disservice to them. But like you say there is a lot of shit out there and there needs to be attention paid to it.

But politically how does that happen? Republicans on some states passed bills that require porn sites to verify peoples age. They wanted people to submit their drivers license online but there is a privacy concern there (for good reason). So how do we go about that? Or if this game was an adult content game and a minor checked into it and was exposed to sexual content, then what? Who all is to blame? The game manufacturers? The participants in the behavior? The minor? The minor’s parents?

There is a lot of law that is lacking because we do not have people in government that are up to the task if understanding the concepts and issues at play.

And yes as a longtime WoW player I know about goldshire, and all the other activities in game. I used to run a 300 person guild and some of the things that were going on in our teamspeak server were crazy!
