- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoPeople need to also know that it extends to Oculus. I can't wait to see these companies broken up. There is no reason FB should have ever been allowed to buy IG and Whatsapp either. Hopefully we come back to a sane view of antitrust soon.
- chrismcb 6y agoWhy? Why shouldn't the buy them? It didn't give them a monopoly
- dylan604 6y agoIf you're not a tech nerd, but just a parent trying to buy the cool new thing for your kids for that "unignorable" holiday at the end of the year, you just might not know Oculus has anything to do with Facebook. I just went to the Oculus Quest website, and as soon as the page loads there is an animation in the upper left corner that shows the Oculus logo with the text "from Facebook" that animates away. The only other Facebook mention is tucked away at the footer of a long scroll that says "from Facebook" in a non-style guide adhering white font. Doesn't look official at all.
- throwaway2048 6y agoJust let me travel back in time and not give them money, after they retroactively crippled what i paid for, shouldn't be hard.
- BLKNSLVR 6y agoCan you not request a refund and have consumer protections if they did change the terms of service (effectively crippling) of what you paid for? Do their terms of service allow crippling changes to their terms of service?
- jobigoud 6y agoYeah we just had to accept the new ToS a few weeks ago selecting between 1. switching to Facebook right now or 2. staying with an Oculus account for now and switching later or lose access when they remove dual login. So they made us "agree" with their ploy just to continue using the device.
- BMSmnqXAE4yfe1 6y agoOf course it sucks. That's why I never had an FB account. But Google, Apple, Amazon and any other big monopoly are equally bad, and worse. I don't understand why people single out FB.
- dylan604 6y agoFacebook -> Google -> Amazon -> Apple My personal order of disdain. Top of the list always gets the most attention. Nothing hard to understand about that.
- BMSmnqXAE4yfe1 6y agoHow do you measure who is at the top? By the amount of bad press, which is easily manipulated? For me, Google is top evil, by far. You just can't avoid it no matter how hard you try.
- dylan604 6y agoMy logic is that Facebook is actively manipulating people by the algo's decision on what to show someone in their feed. Plus it tracks everyone everywhere across the internet. Google just tracks everyone everywhere across the internet. They are only interesting hoovering up all of the data. Facebook plays with peoples emotions. So in my chair Facebook > Google in asshattery.
- BMSmnqXAE4yfe1 6y agoGoogle follows your every step, not only on the internet, if you carry an Android phone, as most people on this planet. Facebook knows your public data, that you shared voluntary, but google knows your private data: emails, search queries, documents, locations etc.
