After reports of groping in Horizon, the virtual reality spaces created by Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook has decided to introduce a new feature to help users avoid unwanted interactions. 🥽
In late November, a Horizon beta tester reported on a Facebook group for Horizon Worlds that her avatar had been groped by a stranger in the virtual world.
“Sexual harassment is no joke on the regular internet, but being in VR adds another layer that makes the event more intense,” she wrote in the post seen by The Verge. “Not only was I groped last night, but there were other people there who supported this behaviour which made me feel isolated.”
