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
