Woman claims she was virtually ‘groped’ in Meta’s VR metaverse

A beta tester has claimed she was virtually “groped” in the metaverse VR platform Horizon Worlds from Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook.

Meta revealed the incident on Dec. 1, saying it occurred on Nov. 26. The woman had reported the assault on the Horizon Worlds beta testing Facebook group.

“Sexual harassment is no joke on the regular internet, but being in VR adds another layer that makes the event more intense,” she wrote, according to the Verge. “Not only was I groped last night, but there were other people there who supported this behavior, which made me feel isolated in the Plaza,” the virtual environment’s central gathering space.

“Severe” encounters of online harassment — including physical threats, stalking and “repeated” harassment — are on the rise, according to a 2020 Pew Research poll, with the percentage of users reporting such incidents jumping from 15% in 2014 to 25% today. While much of it takes place on social media, VR is still nascent and already an apparent venue for harassment.

Zuckerberg: “I’m here to help.”

I can remember cases where a spouse was actaully (not virtually) abused, left their mate, got a restraining order and were told by police, ”IF he DOES anything we can come and help, but not before.”

This idiot was NOT touched at all.
How can an imaginary “act” be “more intense,” than a real one?
And police won’t respond until a REAL act has already taken place.
The phrase, “she needs to get a life,” takes on extra meaning in this case.

The question is, what are the pro-nouns and what does that person identify as?

As Anorak the All-Knowing said to Parzival in the movie in question, “Get yourself a clue.”
