Uncharted Metaverse Ushers in a New Era for Privacy Concerns
The metaverse is a futuristic new frontier, and an estimated 64 million Americans will venture in through virtual reality by the end of 2022. However, many describe the metaverse as “the wild west” for privacy and it can lead to personal data issues in this reality.

How responsible are companies gonna be?”
