UK watchdog to grill Meta over child safety in VR
VR headset's compliance with a recently established children's code that priorities the"best interests" of young users. The watchdog wants to determine whether Meta's headset and VR services do enough to protect the privacy and data of kids.
Baroness Beeban Kidron, who developed the code, was concerned Meta's platform made it too easy for kids to sign on and risk abuse, harassment and explicit content. Meta might require a Facebook account , but that doesn't mean it's implementing the code's required age checks. Children can jump into potentially dangerous VR chatrooms just by"ticking a box" to say they're old enough, Kidron said.
