Mike Hosking: What's wrong with living in the real world?


As I understand the metaverse it will eventually be a place where you live that’s so real you may not know where you are, here or the metaverse.

At the moment, as I understand, the metaverse it's just a bunch of avatars, like avatars on games. In fact, the metaverse as I understand it right now just looks like a cheap game.

Some are starting to take it seriously. A Minister from a Middle Eastern government the other day called for the United Nations to be involved in the metaverse to oversee crime. It's a fair question. If crime is committed in the metaverse, which it will be, under whose jurisdiction is it policed? Who is charged? And where and what are the penalties?

Money is already being used in the metaverse, so does a financial crime get caught up by a police force somewhere?
