China To Bring Social Credit System In Metaverse
By Vishakha Thakur
Metaverse can appear to be a magical virtual universe where you can shop, play, work and perform multiple activities but the virtual world brings along certain challenges too. What if someone tries to create a fake identity of yours and create a chaos in the metaverse? What if someone resort to rumours mongering pretending as your ‘avatar’ or bully you by using replica of you or your friend?
Well, China has plans to ensure that whatever happens in the Metaverse, should not stay in the metaverse. Yes, the country is all set to implement its social credit system into the metaverse.
Now if you are wondering what this social credit system is all about…
Let me simplify this for you…
The social credit system introduced in China is a regulatory framework that reports on trustworthiness of companies, individuals and the government. The unified record created by the system can be monitored in real-time.
And now, China plans to implement this in the virtual world too! It is exploring the implementation of a digital identity system for all users of the Metaverse in order to maintain order and safety within the virtual world. Several details of an individual such as his occupation would be stored within this digital identity, and this data will be permanently stored and made accessible to authorities. So, if someone tries to create chaos in the metaverse, this digital Identity will enable swift identification and punishment by the police.
Well, companies and countries are trying their best to ensure privacy and safety in the metaverse and reduction in such challenges will invite more users to the virtual world.
