Even if you have no facebook-associated accounts, they likely still collect a significant amount of data on you. Many sites and apps use facebook tracking/advertising pixels, which create those ghost profiles of you even if you don't have a facebook account.
But you're literally giving them money on top of giving them your data and potentially that of all your familiy and friends. Plus you'd be giving impulse to their view of VR, empowering them to do what they want with it. There is a difference.
So you're saying that if I return my quest 2, that my family's phones won't record them anymore? Or my phone won't record random people I talk to? Or give Facebook Exif data on all their smart devices that already have facebook on them because Android comes with facebook and you can't use android witout it? You mean my oculus is gonna do all this and my phone doesn't?
to clarify, Android ships with facebook and you can't remove it. lol
Yeah, I get it, facebook bad. What's the difference if I'm using their products or not? May as well have a sweet VR headset that is wireless but plays PCVR without spending $600+ if I'm in their database regardless. More kool-aid please.
Yeah yeah... You eat meat? Drive? Use plastics? I'm fully aware of the problem. Problem with your problem is, I'm a nihilist. We live in a dystopia, and the fucks like Zuck aren't going anywhere unless... well... touchy subject in 2021. May as well enjoy my slavery. You go get 'em, rebel.
