Their pivot to Meta indicates that Zuckerberg knows Facebook is dead. The continued survival of the company now depends on whether they can successfully pivot to something else other than a social network. If they can then they might manage to survive but if not then it's pretty clear Facebook is finished even without people doing anything about it.

Well, we already have people getting groped in the metaverse so that might be off to a rocky start. Maybe they will sell subscriptions to digital metapolice?
Whatever tech you can come up with, people will find ways to use it for bad things. It doesn't reflect on the tech. Just the perpetrator. Did the internet fail because of all the bad stuff happening there?

Facebook already has the ability to view all interactions, even after the fact, which is already pretty intrusive IMO. Of course they're going for child friendly but I hope not all services will be like this. I don't want to be banned every time I say a bad word.

Ps it's also pretty risky for the perpetrator :P You never know if that hot chick is a 300 pound dude named Chuck, to quote ready player one :)

Or, god forbid, show a woman with nipples.

When did that happen?

Are there full body VR suits that transmit touch?
Sadly not yet :)
