As the adoption of the metaverse approaches, one factor that seems like an inevitability is toxic behavior. Such behavior is unfortunately prolific in online communities now. The behaviors will likely carry forward to the metaverse, if not always in the same way. Several experts on online safety spoke about the topic at GamesBeat and Facebook Gaming’s Into the Metaverse 2 event.
The panel consisted of Tiffany Xingyu Wang, chief strategy and marketing officer of Spectrum Labs; Laura Higgins, director of community safety and civility at Roblox; and Rachel Franklin SVP of Positive Play at Electronic Arts. They covered what toxicity in the metaverse will look like, and how companies might prevent it.
