Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Roblox: The children’s game with a sex problem

It is already happening, out-of-rule activities in virtual spaces. There are a number of online games that are played by avatars, some of which are created by the players themselves, like Roblox. Though explicit sexual content is prohibited and policed by the game’s provider, some could escape from the safety net. Imagine sexual games were played by the avatars of young children, how badly they could be influenced. But it is already happening in popular children’s games in the world. While responsible game or platform providers try policing out-of-rule activities, there could be less-responsible ones that just want to make money from the games. Also, if you think about metaverse where anyone can anonymously do things they can’t normally do in the real world, such as sexual assault, violence, harassment, and propaganda, how far will it go? Regulators might need to start drafting rules and guidelines before metaverses appear.

Enjoy reading the article and think about the potential reality of virtual reality.
