Hi HODLers,
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has announced the launch of its fully operational metaverse.
This is intended to be the:
“first-ever Metaverse specifically designed for law enforcement worldwide.”
You may ask, what the hell is Interpol doing in the metaverse? Well, as crime may evolve and be perpetrated in this new environment; crime enforcement units also have to adapt.
As the Secretary General stated:
“For many, the Metaverse seems to herald an abstract future, but the issues it raises are those that have always motivated INTERPOL – supporting our member countries to fight crime and making the world, virtual or not, safer for those who inhabit it,”
For now it seems it will be mostly use for training as the example show some Interpol experts delivering a training course on travel document verification and passenger.
What are your thoughts? A good first step by law enforcement authorities or an overreach and over reaction?
Stay safe out there,

It's a step in the right direction but I have mixed feelings.
Completely understandable to have mixed feelings when governments are involved :D

Exactly. The government don't seem to do anything that favors us in the long run.
I saw something about it on twitter earlier today and to answer your question: overreach and over reaction. The metaverse is not real life. They took the online space too seriously and now they seem to do that with the metaverse as well.
Well for now it is not but who knows later on. I feel they take it much more seriously than the internet back then. Interesting.
