If the Metaverse is left unregulated, companies will track your gaze and emotions, writes Tom Wheeler

attempt to establish behavioral expectations for the existing online experience. The acts have been provisionally adopted, but the regulatory infrastructure has yet to be put in place. That infrastructure will require the European Commission to evolve from a technocratic body to a regulatory body.

Whatever structure is ultimately put in place, it will need the regulatory agility to not only address the problems we experience today, but also new developments such as the metaverse. Policy makers have the opportunity to use the metaverse as a transition point in the digital era.

Thus far in the digital era, the rules have been made by the companies, who strongly resist government efforts to oversee what they do. But, Sir Nick Clegg, Meta’s President of Global Policy, has perhaps opened the door. Cleggof the need to “create thoughtful rules and put guardrails in place as the metaverse develops.”

This call for rules is tantalizing and worthy of being pursued. The first test will be whether the regulatory structure of the E.U. can establish baseline behavioral expectations to replace the rules the platform companies have already imposed on the digital marketplace. The second test is whether the regulation will be sufficiently agile to deal with what innovative technologists throw at us next—or whether, if it isn’t, the companies will once again end up writing their own rules.

As the digital platforms such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft seized on the open technology of the internet to build their closed platforms, policymakers watched from the sidelines, unsure what to make of the developments. Those innocent days are over. Everyone has learned the consequences of allowing the companies to make their own rules. The metaverse magnifies those consequences.

Yeah. 'If.', 'Will.' Sure sure, note my eye roll. I had a lot of practice in school. Here goes: Hope you liked it.

Sure emotions yes already a thing but when you say gaze is monitored outside of web3 already… is it based on the picture as a whole or can they detect which part of a photo your looking at specifically?

They can already do that lol

Like they don't already

Yes... but they will have trouble 'profiting' from it. Paaavo realize this is an engagement repeat posted every 1.5 weeks by time so he is hijacking the engagement. Come with me.

Are corporations become breeding grounds for fascism? Other than Trump who else lies often if not always?

shame most of us won't be nudged into using this publicity machine. Reality or Nothing.

probably true.

As if they haven't been already?

HenriArmelin , chega aqui

Facebook sucks

But what is too much regulations if on one hand you condemned what you promote

Bullshit! Such mock journalism is still trying to equate 'artificial intelligence' with 'artificial consciousness'. Please note that artificial intelligence was meant as a concept taken in conjunction with more professional, non-lay ideations such as 'military intelligence'.

Our metaverse runs in the browser with zero tracking, and is open source. Regulation would only limit small business oportunities in favor of big corporations.

That will make virtual selection of partner easy.

Another reason to stick to real life.

Metastases are going to make the deal, they love cancer, and of course MARK SUKA

🛝

People can pay really a lot there

They already are.

Cambridge Analytica 2.0

Thanks.M

Hold on tight to your Algorand.

There are privacy issues already. What about logging into apps to watch videos or broadcasts? and job sites that ask you to log in with password, just to apply for a job (totally unnecessary)? GDPR good initiative, but not gone far enough.

Didnt they just do a study of people hooked up for a week and most of them couldn't bear the headaches and eye strain.

Just read peoples post lmao 🤣

No one will use this

Like they do now from your post and engagement on social media...gotcha

There is a solution. Don't use it.

The best site for dating! Here everyone will be given :) Free!

We should call anonymous to attack Meta.

Correct which is why FB/Meta will NOT be the home of the incoming metaverse... no one can trust them as a company sells data analytics. Sure FB will be social in a large part no doubt but base core biz use... nope and companies like my own will inform one and all of what you say.

The technocrats and elites want to be our literal gods. Knowing everything even our own thoughts and deciding our faiths as they see fit, they want to be like the most high, don't ever let them have your soul even if it means death! Read the bible and wear the full armor of god!

and only the govt should have that much power right?

Edward J. Snowden an American former computer intelligence consultant leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013, when he was an employee & subcontractor to warn us about this. He was exiled. We paid him no mind. Now we are seeing his truth.

amazon I wish alexa99 had an attachment that sat in my toilet bowl, to ‘assess’ my daily health 🙌

Use a VPN

Hitler's geekin at you mind prison.

Please let's promote the Shib coin on our social media platforms for it to be used to combat recession inflation

Internet can never be tamed take that from me!

(Decentralized projects will win)

The movie Minority Report is already here

That should make you emotional.... Wahaaaaha

Why would they be interested?

They will track my eye rolling which you would too as I read this story headline.

Don’t they already do this through the fast food industry. 🤔

OFF SWITCH fixes this 🤗

🔥

So what who cares

Let them. Who cares?

I saw several people testifying of making so much money with the help of Bamber__Michael on Bitcoin trading and I decided to give a try and now I'm glad now He helped me and my colleagues to make $5,950 in one week, thank you for transparency and trust.

As if this isn't already happening. Let's not forget every phone is recording every conversation so it can direct specific ads to you.

not a chance. nobody can say or do a single thing about it. as the sole owner of rights i have sole copyright even over all laws 'amounting from it'.. the fact that the world was made to think that everyone can is just that, insanity. iinventedthemetaverse followthewhiterabbit

Thank you so much for the intelligence.

I thought the meta verse idea kinda died? It’s a good idea in theory, but in practice…

They already are.

yeah sure and who regulates the regulators?

Not mine they wont as ' I'm averse to Metaverse '

Track and stick you know where!

This is the goal, right? As a Metaverse user, I’m sure I want the headset to detect when I’m feeling a little blue and deliver complementary Cheez Ballz straight to my door

Cool

I recommend reflective sunglasses.

It’s a good thing I can’t use any VR headset. Suck on that, Meta.
