In an anonymous survey conducted by Hong Kong-based Advokate Group, more than 1,200 U.S. consumers were asked questions about joining a metaverse. Over 77% admitted to being worried about Facebook owning the data. “Facebook has an impressive record of misusing users’ data,” commented Avast Security Evangelist Luis Corrons. “It is really hard to forget the Cambridge Analytics scandal. They’ve lost people’s confidence. However, billions of people still use Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, so it seems people are concerned about their privacy, but not enough to stop giving up their data.”
