SHIBA WatchDog of metaverse, users are blacklisted

26 avril 2022

The developers of Shiba Inu announced on April 19, 2022, the blacklisting of an address from a user's wallet. Indeed, this one would have drawn a swastika in the SHIB metaverse.

The Shiba Inu team subsequently issued a directive on April 20, 2022, which outlines that the project:

“(will not) tolerate the use of hate speech, signs of intolerance or bigotry (through words, actions, symbolism, etc.). »

Blacklisted sanctioned accounts will not be able to participate in metaverse activities. 36,000 of the 100,000 virtual SHIB lots have been put up for sale since April 12, during Phase 1 auctions. Land costs between 0.2 and 1.0 ETH. Purchases are open to holders of LEASH tokens and NFT Shiboshi.

The color of land purchased in the Metaverse changes from gray to black on the map. The blacklisted user tried to buy the land, whose spatial arrangement forms a swastika in black. Members of the Shiba Inu Discord community issued the alert on April 15. They then bid on other land around this Nazi symbol, until it was more in the shape of a window.

This event reminds us of the need for appropriate regulation in metaverses. Although freedom of expression must be respected there, users of the metaverse must not, however, transgress the laws in force in the physical world, offend the sensibilities of others, or harm them. The cryptosphere must remember that racism has no place in the community.
