This is exactly the reason why I am dismayed at the acquisition. FB has demonstrated repeatedly that it has a very cavalier attitude toward users' privacy, and wants to insert itself as an intermediary in everyone's communications so it can keep amassing data. FB also doesn't like people keeping separate personas, despite the fact that everyone presents a different version of themselves to their families, their coworkers, their Quake clans, their political parties, and the public. FB is like the friend who has no discretion about what secrets they share with whom; you can't tell them anything truly private, so they can never be a friend at all. Inviting them to watch everything you do on the Oculus Rift is a bad idea.
