According to this article, "South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) has revealed the first draft of the core ethical principles for metaverse." The document (available in Korean only; I had only limited success translating it) is based on three 'values', "an intact self-identity, safe enjoyment, and sustainable prosperity." These are implemented through eight 'principles': "authenticity, reciprocity, autonomy, data protection, fairness, respect for privacy, responsibility, and above all, inclusion." I would observe that these are very similar to a lot of the ethics statements concerning artificial intelligence and analytics, and that (therefore) it is really in the details that the ethical foundations are actually revealed.
