“# Tusk Ventures CEO: Don’t repeat social media<\/a> mistakes with Metaverse regulations <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Tusk Ventures CEO and founder Bradley Tusk says that the failure to regulate cryptocurrency and social media effectively in the United States is a \u201creally good lesson for how we should handle the Metaverse.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a Feb. 1 interview<\/a> on CNBC\u2019s \u201cClosing Bell,\u201d Tusk urged U.S. policymakers to \u201cget ahead\u201d of the Metaverse and implement regulations sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n

\u201cTypically speaking, our policy has been that we wait for technology<\/a> to be introduced to gain market fit and traction [before introducing regulation].\u201d However, \u201cIt\u2019s very hard to do that retrospectively,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know the Metaverse is coming \u2014 it\u2019s already here in some ways. We know it\u2019s got all the problems of the internet, probably times five or ten. So why don\u2019t we think about it now, and get ahead of it?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He echoed this sentiment in a Mirror blog post<\/a> uploaded the same day, writing: \u201cThe problems we have regulating technology companies now will be reproduced and amplified in the Metaverse. You think policing state-sponsored disinformation is hard on Facebook and Twitter? Wait until you try it in 3-D.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also stated that while policymakers are unable to develop specific regulations for the Metaverse until they have a better sense of what\u2019s coming, they should start by looking at cryptocurrency and social media. <\/p>\n

\n

How do you think app<\/a>ropriate regulation can be put in place for something that is not yet defined or well understood? I understand the desire to get it \u201cright\u201d but I don\u2019t think regulation is beneficial, especially at this stage. A plan to educate policymakers though, sure.<\/p>\n
