Metaverse Legal Group - Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress - Virtual GropingIn this exciting episode of Litigation Whiteboard® Attorney Steve® discusses the metaverse and "sexual assaults" that have allegedly occurred in the virtual reality zone. One question I pose is whether or not it is legal (meaning, is there any law prohibiting such digital conduct)? One legal angle I explore is the tort of outrage (aka Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress). Is this type of digital activity tortious? Of course it will violate the community standards of gaming platforms such as Quivr and Horizon Worlds and others, but will a lawsuit be viable against either the platform (not able to provide adequate protections), or against the anonymous users (screenshots may help you locate them)? These are new questions for a new digital age. Take a listen!Click here to watch my video on Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: If you like this podcast of Vondran Legal Hour feel free to share it on your social media networks.
