Right before visiting the oldest bar in Dublin, Tomer Poran from Activefence and David Taylor from Next Earth shared some tips on trust and safety in Web3 with Cointelegraph’s editor-in-chief KristinaLCorner.

Metaverse and Web3 have become catch-all terms that describe some aspects of the future internet. Beyond the hype, however, these technologies are building immersive worlds that intersect digital and real life. As more people migrate to the metaverse to work, play and “live,” so to speak, real-world complications are bound to arise.

When asked about how we should tackle the problem of bad actors within the context of the metaverse, Poran opined: “Don't try to fix fraudsters or Nazis or terrorists. They will remain.

It will never be enough.”Taylor and Poran also gave some examples of bad actors inside the metaverse.
