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
