The first step in providing data security and privacy on a metaverse is building privacy-preserving technologies from scratch. Privacy in the metaverse needs to be heavily considered and protected, by users as well as companies, who need to begin to incorporate privacy by design as they design technologies that we are so dependent upon. All of these things combined will go a long way to creating a metaverse that is secure, privacy-sensitive, and user-regulated. The technologies used within a metaverse will extend current, extensive data collection and usage.
