Analysis of Legal Issues and Countermeasures Brought by the Metaverse

Abstract

With the rapid development of the digital economy, the metaverse has transformed from a concept into reality, which is one of the key aspects of current modernization construction in China. It is noteworthy that while its various advanced technologies have enriched people’s lives with new experiences, they have also given rise to numerous legal issues. Based on the concept of governing the country according to law, this paper uses systems theory as an analytical framework to construct a model, proposing that attention should be paid to the legal issues brought by the metaverse, clarifying its definition and characteristics, and exploring the legal issues at both macro and micro levels, as well as the countermeasures of multiple stakeholders. This is of great significance for the digital development of contemporary society and plays a main role in further advancing Chinese-style modernization.
