The rapid development of technology, combined with the demands of contemporary society and the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has led to prolonged social isolation and a simultaneous need for new forms of social interaction, has necessitated new technological means by which individuals can communicate, socialise and carry out various aspects of their daily lives, responsibilities and activities. As a result, the emergence of the Metaverse has been hotly debated, as this new virtual world offers a multitude of opportunities and challenges.
In particular, the metaverse has the potential to revolutionise the lives of modern individuals by enabling them to work, entertain themselves, travel and even purchase property within its virtual boundaries, using specialised technological devices that facilitate these unique opportunities and experiences. However, this digital environment is bound to confront both users and operators with a number of legal considerations, mainly relating to privacy, security, competition and the definition of liability within the metaverse. This study focuses on the most fundamental aspects of these issues.
