The metaverse has a groping problem already
A woman was sexually harassed on Meta’s VR social media platform. She’s not the first—and won’t be the last.

An early tester of Meta’s Horizon Worlds app has revealed her avatar was virtually groped by a stranger within the metaverse.
Virtual thot Ariana Grande claims she too was groped by Avatar of Mark Zuckerberg…
The incident, acknowledged by Meta (the company formerly known as Facebook), took place during Horizon Worlds’ beta testing and was reported November 26.
Horizon Worlds, finally released by Meta on December 9, allows users in the US and Canada to gather with others, play games and build their own virtual worlds.
It’s an early step in Meta’s ambition to transform into a ‘metaverse’ – a collective virtual shared space featuring avatars of real people.
But the recent incident has raised concerns about the safety of the metaverse and suggests the virtual world ‘has a groping problem already’.
“There I was, being virtually groped in a snowy fortress with my brother-in-law and husband watching.”
Last week, Meta (the umbrella company formerly known as Facebook) opened up access to its virtual-reality social media platform, Horizon Worlds. Early descriptions of the platform make it seem fun and wholesome, drawing comparisons to Minecraft. In Horizon Worlds, up to 20 avatars can get together at a time to explore, hang out, and build within the virtual space.
But not everything has been warm and fuzzy. According to Meta, on November 26, a beta tester reported something deeply troubling: she had been groped by a stranger on Horizon Worlds. On December 1, Meta revealed that she’d posted her experience in the Horizon Worlds beta testing group on Facebook.
Meta’s internal review of the incident found that the beta tester should have used a tool called “Safe Zone” that’s part of a suite of safety features built into Horizon Worlds. Safe Zone is a protective bubble users can activate when feeling threatened. Within it, no one can touch them, talk to them, or interact in any way until they signal that they would like the Safe Zone lifted.
Vivek Sharma, the vice president of Horizon, called the groping incident “absolutely unfortunate,” telling the press, “That’s good feedback still for us because I want to make [the blocking feature] trivially easy and findable.”
It’s not the first time a user has been groped in VR—nor, unfortunately, will it be the last. But the incident shows that until companies work out how to protect participants, the metaverse can never be a safe place.
VR sexual harassment is sexual harassment, full stop
‘Sexual harassment is no joke on the regular internet, but being in VR [virtual reality] adds another layer that makes the event more intense,’ the unnamed beta tester posted in the official Horizon group on Facebook.
‘Not only was I groped last night, but there were other people there who supported this behavior which made me feel isolated.’
The incident was acknowledged by the company, which changed its name from Facebook to Meta in October, in line with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s new obsession with the metaverse… More Here
