Facebook Inc's head of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said the company was working on ways to protect users in the metaverse, speaking in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday.
Clegg said it was "not an either/or choice" between its current responsibilities and investing in the metaverse.
He also said that as the metaverse should be "an interoperable ecosystem," the company's content standards would need to be consistent with other tech firms building for the metaverse. He said the protocols and standards of this interoperability would be "some of the most difficult and most important policy work."
Facebook on Tuesday announced new European partners in its XR Programs and Research Fund, a two-year, $50 million investment that it says will help it build the metaverse responsibly.
