Don't think that the metaverse is a virtual world where you can do whatever you want without consequences! With the recent rise of the metaverse, Graeme Biggar, Director General of the UK's National Crime Agency, recently stated that criminal behavior in the metaverse may be considered a criminal offense because metaverse users wearing haptic suits will feel substantial physical harm.

In an interview with the Evening Standard, Graeme Biggar explicitly pointed out that metaverse users wearing haptic suits will be able to feel physical impacts in virtual reality. These haptic suits not only provide users with immersive experiences but also allow them to perceive various actions and events in the metaverse. Therefore, the UK's National Crime Agency is urging law enforcement agencies to be prepared to handle potential metaverse crimes that may cause actual physical harm to victims in real life.

Although the UK's National Crime Agency is busy dealing with various crimes in the real world, they also realize that the development of the metaverse may bring new legal challenges. Graeme Biggar emphasized that while metaverse crime is not the main issue currently, law enforcement agencies need to consider how to regulate this emerging field as technology advances.

Furthermore, Graeme Biggar mentioned that some law enforcement actions have already been taken to ensure the safe development of the metaverse. He stated that although there are many crimes to address in the real world, actions taking place in the metaverse also require attention and reasonable regulation to allow people to enjoy the benefits of exciting technological developments while staying safe.

Additionally, Graeme Biggar also mentioned that the UK's National Crime Agency is highly concerned about AI crime and is preparing to take action to combat this type of criminal behavior. He pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence enables it to generate more realistic textual content, posing a further threat to society. Therefore, the UK's National Crime Agency will continue to work to address the evolving landscape of technology to ensure societal safety and the stability of the rule of law.

I think there should indeed be certain punishments for illegal activities in the virtual world.
