QuestionWhat does Meta see as the biggest risks to children in the Metaverse/VR?
ResponseRather than naming risks, Meta lists Horizon Worlds' mitigations: blocking teens from seeing/being contacted by unknown adults, private-by-default profiles, hidden active status, content ratings, voice garbling/muffling for strangers, blurred world chat, and a chat-language filter — plus parental-supervision locks on several of these defaults.
