A white paper for nonprofit Common Sense investigated the child privacy risks for children who log into the metaverse with virtual reality technology. According to the white paper, the primary risks are physiological effects, such as nausea, eye strain and other forms of "cybersickness,” privacy risks associated with VR systems that recorded eye and facial movements, and false information and manipulation. The paper said other psychological risks and the potential for sexual abuse need to be investigated.
