Meta adds personal boundary in metaverse after woman alleges 'virtual gang-rape'

Facebook's parent Meta has added a 'personal boundary' feature, that prevents avatars in the metaverse from coming within a distance of 4 feet of each other. The feature will help avoid "unwanted interactions" and "builds upon our existing hand harassment measures", the company said. This comes days after a woman alleged her avatar was "virtually gang-raped" by 3-4 male avatars.
