A researcher's avatar was sexually assaulted on Meta's platform
- Tagbert 4y agoWould this be surprising to anyone who has spent time on Facebooks, Twitter, Reddit, or 4Chan? Social networks seem to have become where people to go release their Id and indulge in hostile behavior which would not be accepted in meatspace. I suspect that the researcher knew that this was possible when she allowed herself to be talked into turning off the no-approach radius. I assume she wanted to see and record where this went. I wonder how easy it would be to reinstate the circle of protection? Is there a simple “shields up” command to restore it? What is the effect on an avatar already in your space?
- Proven 4y agoOMG what a bunch of nonsense.
