			Being a virtual community experience, users may run into situations they may want to leave; this is made possible by clicking the shield button which takes you to your '''Safety Zone'''. Your Safety Zone blurs other avatars in your view<ref name="fairy">https://uploadvr.com/facebook-horizon-preview/</ref> and enables to you take a moment to yourself, and if you choose, allows you to report other users to a training specialist. You can include footage recorded on an on-going, rolling basis by your Oculus headset in your report.<ref name="abba"></ref>

			Note that Facebook may use your data to show you personalized ads. Your Horizon profile information such as your username, avatar, and mutual Oculus friends on Horizon are accessible to others within the app, as well.<ref name="celery"></ref>

			Hardawar, a contributor at Engadget, noted the potential of the app given its versatile creation mode and expansion beyond the use cases for [[Facebook Spaces]], [[Oculus Rooms]], and [[Oculus Venues]], during their own beta testing in 2020. However, they also noted the security concerns given it is a massive, multi-player, ''public'' world that will need to be worked out before releasing to the public.<ref name="eel">https://www.engadget.com/facebook-horizon-oculus-vr-hands-on-170017517.html</ref>

			Feltham, a contributor at UploadVR, found the different worlds impressive, but questioned the novelty and purpose of the Horizon experience. He noted the rapid progression of codeless game development in the industry, which is not unique to Horizon, but also included that Facebook Reality Labs’ Head of Experiences for Product Marketing, Meaghan Fitzgerald, considers the social element differentiates Horizon from other apps. After Feltham's interview with Fitzgerald and Ari Grant, a Product Management Director at Horizon, it seemed that only time would tell the true purpose and differentiating features of Facebook Horizon.<ref name="fairy"></ref>
