PANews reported on April 12 that according to CoinDesk, the French Ministry of Economy released a consultation report on Tuesday, soliciting opinions on policy issues such as privacy, health and environmental risks in the virtual world, trying to create "digital sovereignty" in Europe and seeking to break the monopoly of international Internet giants such as Meta in the field of the metaverse. The consultation will last until May 2 and includes virtual reality and augmented reality, game engines, and blockchain technology that supports cryptocurrencies. Its goal is to "propose a solution to the virtual network world currently established by international Internet giants." During the 2022 campaign, Macron talked about the need to establish a European metaverse, and EU officials will also formulate an EU virtual world strategy in May.
