Nina Jane Patel has been accused of “almost collective sexual harassment” on Facebook’s metawares shortly after entering the virtual world.
Notably, Nina Jane Patel is the co-founder of Metawares Research in Kabini. In a blog post in the media, a woman puts forward this sexual accusation.
The 43-year-old woman said, “Within 60 seconds of joining Metawares, I was verbally and sexually abused – 3-4 male incarnations, tormenting me with male voices.
My incarnation was almost gang-raped and photographed. ”
“When I tried to escape, they shouted – ‘Don’t pretend you’ve not in love’ and” Rub yourself in the photo, “said the woman, pointing to security issues related to women in Facebook’s metawares.
“It simply came to our notice then. I froze.
All of this happened and ended unexpectedly quickly. It was like a dream, ”the woman said in her blog post.
This is not the first time Meta has faced sexual harassment complaints in its virtual world – metaverse. In December last year, a beta tester also reported sexual harassment on Metawares.
Metawares is said to be the future digital world of Facebook. It is also worth noting that the company is increasing its efforts to create a digital universe.
Last year, Facebook changed its name to meta, and the company highlighted its ambitions to create a metaware that could do almost anything for users.
Meanwhile, Meta has recently announced the release of updated 3D avatars for Facebook and Messenger, as well as Instagram stories and DMs for the first time.
According to IANS, people in the United States, Canada and Mexico can display their virtual identities on processors with stickers, feed posts, Facebook profile pictures and more.
“We’ve working hard and expanding avatars so that they better represent the billions of unique individuals on this planet,” said Ikerim Schormann, general manager for avatars and identity, in a blog post.
“Today we take it further and add new face shapes and tools for people with disabilities,” Shoreman added.
