Virtual reality issues of right and wrong

vendredi 20 mai 2022 à 09:04

Multiperson virtual reality raises a number of issues of right and wrong, which can be considered in relation to the laws of various countries, or to various ideas of morality. There will be conflicts among these.

One moral issue which the article is unaware of is that of the nonfree software in use at multiple levels in the underlying support, both in the VR headsets and in the multiperson interaction server. These programs will have malicious functionalities, since nonfree software usually does.

Until we have VR systems that companies can't snoop on and manipulate, I will carry out my interactions with people in other ways.

Please do not dehumanize other people by referring to their words and actions as "content".
