Just use the block button it’s not that traumatizing. It’s disturbing sure, but nothing to complain about I understand that you don’t exactly understand the psychology of the internet but that’s just how it is all we can do is report, block, discourage, and adjust our social settings.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys need a straight jacket 🤣
Facebook changed its name to monopolize on technology that was coming regardless…. So facebook isn't the metaverse.
“Digital hate, misinformation ” have become very broad terms
think the lack maturity from most people will hinder the growth of this……… will def not work
The evil that men do is embedded in theor dna
Humans are not artificial intelligence…how could the Metaverse think that this would not happen…does artificial intelligence have the same understanding of feelings as humans…can artificial intelligence recognize a humans bad behavior…some humans will as always try to take advantage of any loopholes that they have discovered ….
This is your first time isn’t it
hmmmmmmm i should sue, be the first "digital victims" lmao
She obviously didn't call the Meta police and this ALL HAPPENED ONLY because she didn't take her avatar to church. Duh!
If your kids are using vr, u need to make sure that they're casting it to a tv or something so you can monitor what theyre doing.
🖕meta
Is this a joke why would anyone introduce this to kids?
There are only a few movements that your CARTOON avatar can make. Thumbs up, waving hands around and high five. So essentially cartoon avatars walked up to her waving their hands around and said offensive things to her…. there are MANY things you can do immediately to stop it from muting, blocking, going into safe mode, or taking off your headset.
Just a way to pretend again. When will we be in real life. What a stupid thing. He cant even run facebook. So much user trouble with that app.
Technically no one is touching you lol

Great Stuff. I started watching your videos last year as a beginner before giving STOCK and CRYPTO a trial. I was able to make $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000 with the help of BLAINE PHILLIPS JR. I learned a lot about buying when there is fear in the market . I use to get shaken out and panic sell but now I buy more when I see the low prices
🤭😂🤣😂🤣..speechless
Seems like we're gonna be social distancing online too 🤣
No way! Something stupid happened on the internet?
😂 did they think this Metaverse would be unlike any other platform?
I can't imagine how much negative role Meta will play on our young minds with its metaverse.
Oh god! We can see where this is going. Bullying and bigotry. The two aspects of Facebook that they failed to, “adjust to as they discovered how people use the site.” This needs controls beyond more parental responsibility. Before it gets started!
So people should report murders if their avatar is killed in an online shooter?
Lmfao!!
That why stopped collecting people's worldwide for dating attention, they are dangerous people's on their country nations,
Gross. Really gross! This publicizes the concept too. More will come.
I'm going to sue hem that teach me through the internet
Yawn
I was in the metaverse bathroom and was sexually groped while urinating by two drunk females and one shemale. I can't return to the virtual world without feelings of despair and guilt. I believe I was targeted cause of the till/magenta colored sweater I was wearing and my christmas bell attached to my shoelaces.😅
,😂😂
FB is not a safe, really? 🤣
Thank you for talking about this. How was this not considered before now. Especially with suicides on the rise and other social media harassment.
this isn't anything new, try going on the Playstation or Xbox network and you will find people verbally abusing each other all the time. and using there game characters to tea bag someone. Meta should just take the play book from PS or Microsoft when it comes to mitigating bad players.
😂😂😂😂 have they not ever heard of second life site?
can you get STD in virtual reality ?
Real human nature exposed in virtual world… surprise?
That's gross! creepy people
Oh wow
Oh please this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
I can't wait for virtual drive by's… I'm going FULL GTA 😏
It's starting already 😒…. What's next ? Virtual prison ?
Leave to a bunch degenerate wokies
