The metaverse – a term that is associated with many associations in both
positive and negative ways, although the one metaverse does not yet exist.
Its exact design has therefore not yet been conclusively clarified. Mark
Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, describes his vision of the meta
verse as follows: "We will be able to do almost anything in the metaverse
that is within our imagination: meetings [acquaintances] and family, work
ing, learning, playing, shopping, creating content – and completely new
things that we [...] not even imagine." (Facebook Connect, 2021) The aim is
thus to create a link between the digital and real worlds. It is therefore clear
that the metaverse is intended to represent a new type of internet (Europol,
2022) that will differ significantly from current internet use
