Meta is reportedly planning to allow users aged 13 to 17 onto its “Horizon Worlds” metaverse app.
Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg should “immediately cancel” plans to let minors enter his fledgling “Horizon Worlds” metaverse because it could put them at risk of online abuse, a group of more than 70 online children’s safety groups and other experts said in an open letter Friday.
The group’s report said researchers identified at least 19 instances of abusive content aimed at minors in their 100 visits to “Horizon Worlds,” which currently enacts an 18-and-up age limit. Meta, TikTok and other platforms have been pilloried by lawmakers for failing to put adequate safeguards in place to shield children from harmful content and online abuse.
“Before we make Horizon Worlds available to teens, we will have additional protections and tools in place to help provide age-appropriate experiences for them,” Osborne said in a statement.
