The Chinese-based company, Telco, proposes a new digital ID system for bringing China into the metaverse
Telco has put forward a proposal to incorporate all Chinese citizens into the metaverse by using their ID metaverse system. This system would enable Chinese citizens to identify themselves in virtual reality and share personal information with the Chinese authorities.
- The proposed system would bring order to the metaverse and give virtual reality police the ability to identify potential criminals.
- It is designed to control and improve the behavior of Chinese citizens in the metaverse through rankings and scores.
- Telco discussed the proposal with a UN metaverse group, the International Telecommunication Union.
- The group will reconvene in October to vote on the proposal, and if approved, China will be among the first countries to implement a metaverse ID system.
- China is positioning itself as an important player in the development of virtual reality tools alongside other countries working on metaverse proposals.
Hot Take: Telco’s proposed metaverse ID system brings a new level of control and surveillance to virtual reality. While it aims to maintain order and improve behavior, it raises concerns about privacy and potential abuse of power by the Chinese authorities.
