The technological paradigm shift from Web2 to Web3 in the practice of the metaverse appears as a dispute between'centralized'and'decentralized'technological standards,essentially revealing a multi-party struggle over governance of the virtual world.In the era of deep digitalization,development direction of virtual spaces is embodied in the coexistence and coevolution of metaverse practices led by Internet giants and those driven by decentralized autonomous organizations.Both may infringe upon individual digital rights in different dimensions and challenge the governance of sovereign states in the real world.Therefore,it is crucial to accurately assess the risks of different metaverse models,formulate targeted legal frameworks according to different situations,and systematically construct legal governance pathways for the metaverse.Public authorities should enhance anti-monopoly efforts of technology giants and oversight of decentralized domains.Specific pathways involve implementing the governance concept of a dynamic balance between centralization and decentralization,building a multi-party co-governance system based on the underlying technology and application scenarios of the metaverse,exploring governance methods like prior intervention as well as legality supervision and'legal codification',and clarifying the bottom line of metaverse governance through the rational intervention of criminal law.
