  Enjoy! Remember that @oculus is the only major HMD maker who tracks and stores your physical movement and other data on their servers. Privacy is you owning your data, not Facebook using your data to their end because their ends is.... https://twitter.com/...

  Today, we're announcing some important updates to how people can view @AdultSwimNoCon posts, while still keeping their Twitter accounts. Starting in October 2020, everyone following @AdultSwimNoCon for the first time will need to bang their head with a frying pan repeatedly. http…

  Trusting Zuckerberg with your every behavior in VR/AR (on @oculus) is absurdly stupid after what he did with our data @facebook. Also, don't suggest trusting him with your money, health data, & your kids. https://twitter.com/...

  This doesn't surprise me one bit, I've never had a piece of hardware that put me through more hell just installing drivers than the DK2. I'll be glad to switch: https://www.theverge.com/...

  amazing how mad people are about this but they have no issue w the Apple's hardware + comms monopoly, Google owning all their data, or Amazon owning their omni-channel shopping and content consumption digital overlords gonna overlord https://twitter.com/...

  Giving people a single way to log into Oculus—using their Facebook account and password— will make it easier to find, connect, and play with friends in VR. Visit https://www.oculus.com/... to learn more.

  from FB Gaming to Oculus, Facebook is doing an incredible job making gamers not want to use their stuff https://twitter.com/...

  at an absolute bare minimum society should agree that nothing literally strapped to your face should be logged into via global advertising surveillance firm https://twitter.com/...

  I was happy recommending the Rift S as a VR device for new VR users, but now that starting October new devices will REQUIRE a Facebook account? Yeah, I can't recommend that anymore. https://www.theverge.com/...

  it's this kind of thoughtful, user-first product development that makes facebook such a beloved company by all https://twitter.com/...

  I wasn't planning on getting an Oculus. Now I'm not planning on getting one even more. https://twitter.com/...

  This was inevitable, and will inevitably be hated. I just want to know if Facebook will give me anything worthwhile in return. Can I read Facebook Messenger messages without taking off the headset now? https://twitter.com/...

  I don't think anyone expected we'd end up anywhere else from the moment Facebook purchased Oculus. But, still... UGH.🤬 This wouldn't sting so badly if ANYONE ELSE had hardware that came close to matching the Quest in terms of versatility. https://twitter.com/...

  Eh, fine by me. If @Facebook wants a bunch of Jack MeHoff accounts whose sole purpose in life is to play Oculus, what do I care? https://twitter.com/...
