The metaverse might have seemed like a dystopian type of idea that most people would not have wanted to take part in, but with Facebook’s recent name change to Meta it seems more or less inevitable that the metaverse will eventually become an intrinsic part of our lives. While Meta has often referred to the fact that it will take quite a long while before the metaverse turns into what people are expecting it to be, many consumers have already formed some pretty strong opinions on the subject.
In order to obtain a better understanding of what people’s opinions surrounding the metaverse actually are, NordVPN has conducted a survey of around 1,000 people. It turns out that around 87% of people feel that the metaverse is going to seriously compromise their privacy, but at the same time 74% of respondents said that they would be willing to at the very least consider using the metaverse once it becomes readily available to them so chances are that people will not care about privacy all that much by the time it is released.
