How can we regulate the metaverse when understanding is still so limited?
In this exclusive briefing as part of techUK’s Making the Metaverse campaign, techUK is excited to partner with Global Counsel to investigate the findings of their latest report Regulating the Metaverse. At the heart of this report, Global Counsel explores public attitudes to the metaverse and how in turn this may shape the way businesses – including many across the UK tech sector – interact with customers and clients in this space.
This 45-minute event is the perfect opportunity to understand how these findings may shape your own metaverse strategy. This event will consist of a 20-minute briefing from Global Counsel, followed by a Q&A with techUK where members can pose questions.

This original report collected data from across the UK, US and France. Alongside findings on public attitudes to the metaverse with representative polling, the report includes interviews with thought leaders (e.g. industry, policymakers, think tanks and press).
The report reveals malleable attitudes to the metaverse and its regulation from both the public and regulators, but with key reservations around interoperability, online safety and data privacy. Businesses operating in the metaverse(s) will have to take into account the political brand issues associated with the ‘metaverse’ concept, diverging regulatory frameworks - with the EU and UK taking the lead on regulation versus a more market-driven US – and how policymakers will apply learnings from attempting to regulate the Internet 2.0.
