‘Bordered’ regulation to hurt Metaverse’s seamless experience: Meta

Taking a “bordered approach” in regulating the metaverse will hurt interoperability and portability of experiences that transcend national boundaries and operate across jurisdictions, Meta has cautioned the Indian regulator that is looking at proactive regulation of the virtual digital world.

Responding to a consultation paper released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), the US social networking giant said the metaverse is subjected to international laws and standards and that India already has a solid legal framework that applies to internet technologies, such as the new Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, which may continue to apply to the metaverse.
