Highlights
00:43 — Dubai‘s Ajman police force announced that it will be offering services to Metaverse users. Users can connect with the police as digital avatars and communicate in Arabic, English, Russian, German, Chinese, French, and Spanish.
01:03 — This recent announcement will make police services more efficient and easier to access. However, for this to work, Dubai’s police force must consider two areas: anonymity and privacy.
01:21 — If avatars remain anonymous on the platform, they could lead to false complaints being made without any repercussions.
