Is the metaverse a privacy nightmare?

We're hearing a lot about the metaverse these days. So far, the technology seems more hype than anything. Even though market adoption is low, it's evident privacy will be an even larger concern in this emerging world than today's "flat" internet.

In this episode of Privacy Files, Brian Tillman (Mr. Metaverse) fills in for Sarah to provide his perspective on the overarching privacy concerns in this immersive virtual world.

With Mark Zuckerberg and Meta leading the industry in developing metaverse technology with Horizon Worlds, and given Zuckerberg's poor track record on data privacy, it's only natural to be concerned about users' personal data.

Perhaps the most significant privacy concern in the metaverse is the collection of biometric data. This includes voice and facial recognition, iris scanning, eye tracking, and the analysis of unique body movement patterns that are unique to an individual.

Rich and Brian also discuss the scope of the metaverse and cover some interesting applications of the technology.
