According to the BBC, children gamers under 13 years old are meeting in virtual 'condos' on gaming platform Roblox to talk about and try and have sex. One was spotted wearing a Nazi uniform.
Whilst Roblox says offending condos are quickly shut down, the BBC's report adds to a growing concerns about the safety of so-called virtual reality-based metaverse platforms. Reports of sexual harassment have also plagued Meta.
