The Metaverse envisions a future where immersive online interactions become the norm. However, this vision can only be safely realized if user safety and privacy are prioritized. This review critically evaluates existing user safety and security measures within the Metaverse. We have highlighted the limited ability of existing solutions to protect against harassment, identity theft, and the misuse of personal data collected in this environment. This research comprehensively analyzes user safety and security dimensions within virtual worlds and presents a taxonomy to classify the unique threats and vulnerabilities Metaverse users may encounter. This review reveals critical gaps, including the lack of comprehensive security frameworks and balanced privacy-preserving models in virtual immersive environments. In response, we propose a novel Metaverse Security Architecture designed with Zero-Trust principles. This architecture prioritizes user control over data, identity, and experiences. It also emphasizes proactive security measures to mitigate diverse potential harms in virtual worlds. Our research highlights the critical importance of such robust, user-centric frameworks in enabling a Metaverse that is immersive, safe, and secure for all its participants.

“…Table 1 provides many examples of GIS. Due to developments in artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and blockchain, the metaverse has become the newest component of GIS (Deveci et al, 2022;Fatemidokht et al, 2021;Gaurav, 2022;Gupta et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2020). The metaverse concept has evolved significantly over the years, from its earliest roots in science fiction to its current state as a burgeoning field of research and development.…”

The emergence of the metaverse, a virtual reality space, has ushered in a new era of digital experiences and interactions in global information systems. With its unique social norms and behaviors, this new world presents exciting opportunities for users to connect, socialize, and explore. However, as people spend more time in the metaverse, it has become increasingly apparent that the issue of cyberbullying needs to be addressed. Cyberbullying is a serious problem that can harm victims psychologically and physically. It involves using technology to harass, intimidate, or humiliate individuals or groups in global information systems. The risk of cyberbullying is high in the metaverse, where users are often anonymous. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a safer and more respectful culture within the metaverse to detect and prevent such incidents from happening.
