This ^ means fuck-all, because at that time (day 1), their oculus services where hosted in the same infrastructure as their social media services.
Last year, they got rid of "you do not need a facebook account". But in all situations since inception, all of your data is passing through the same infrastructure as facebook data. It may not be being exposed, or targeted for advertising, but this WAS a huge point of contention years back.
- boston_clone 5y ago> oculus services where [sic] hosted in the same infrastructure as their social media services with my second-hand knowledge from someone who worked for FB and assisted the Oculus team being folded in to FB processes/policies/tech, I don't think this is accurate, either.
