Facebook recently announced that, come October, new Oculus users and existing users with new headsets will be required to log into their headset with a Facebook account. That means that even existing users who have a separate Oculus account will be required to migrate to a Facebook account to use any future Oculus headsets.
Many responded to the news by suggesting that people who don’t want a Facebook account should just make a fake account solely to use with their headset. But that won’t fly, Facebook says.
Facebook accounts are government by the Facebook Community Standards, and Facebook has confirmed that users violating those standards risk losing access to their headset. That can include violations that happen in VR or on other Facebook products like Facebook.com.
The Facebook Community Standards aim to protect against common-sense harm like illegal matters of violence, criminal behavior, and fraud, but also impose restrictions on legal matters, like using a pseudonym to identify oneself, and speech relating to what Facebook deems objectionable content, which includes hate speech, violent & graphic content, adult nudity & sexual activity, and cruel & insensitive speech.
Road to VR reached out to Facebook to understand how violations of the Facebook Community Standards would impact Oculus headsets tied to a Facebook Account.
“If you log in using your Facebook account or merge your Oculus and Facebook accounts and violate the Facebook Community Standards, Conduct in VR Policy or other terms and policies on any of our platforms your access to or use of Oculus products may be impacted. If your account is fully disabled as a result of this violation you may also lose access to your [games and content]. We are committed to keeping all of our platforms safer,” a spokesperson said.
Can't wait to see this kike being publicly executed on live television.

I literally see faggots using fakes names all the time but for some reason Facebook always delete my account using my real name and phone,the fuck is that logic?

You should all delete your FB and Twitter and use MySpace agan. It's dead but it can be used again as long servers are up and Tom isn't a filthy kike as far as i know.
Joshua Evans
Jailbreak it, never use Oculus store, use SteamVR.
>user played Underage Panty Quest VII VR adventure!
Owen Butler
Oh shit.Well i didn't know. FB is dying the same way MySpace was dying to be replaced by FB. Now FB is dying for Twitter and Twitter exists since a long ass time too.
Carson Phillips
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS? WHATS THAT? YOU DONT HAVE ANY BUT WOULD LIKE TO FORWARD TO YOUR EMPLOYERS ACCOUNT?
Logan Peterson
So what headset do I buy if I want to jerk off to anime women, but also have my freedoms?
Ian Wilson
If you ever used social media you are leddit faggot that should kill himself.
Robert Jones
That Virtual Boy emulator needs to be ported off Oculus and become platform agnostic.
Evan Rivera
So you have to have a facebook account to use an oculus? lmao
Jordan James
Why does Facebook want to know about my VR porn history?
Christian Miller
I've been playing with a WMR headset.
Elijah Flores
>inb44chanissocialmedia How about a cup of shut the fuck up. Btw Discord is social media apparently so not many Zig Forums posters would remain.
John James
Looking for recommendations.
Nathan Smith
Facebook is the worst thing to happen to modern society.
Aaron Fisher
Zuck became a lot more brazen after he managed to lie to congress on national TV and nothing happened
Gabriel Cruz
>everyone talking about having to login to Facebook >not that this is another walled garden
Gabriel Torres
imagine buying the zuckulus and not thinking there's going to be horrific overreach absolute braindead retards.
Oliver Sullivan
Well Twitter is worse than FB at its worst. MySpace was just a thing for emos and liberals sharing pictures of their degenerate lives as far as i can remember. He's a manlet that sat on a briefcase or it was an edit. Either way he needs a .50 in the head.
Lucas Butler
>Facebook has confirmed that users violating those standards risk losing access to their headset. How will they find out the account is fake?
Carson Clark
Can you root those things at least and bypass all of that if you just want a cheap headset for playing Alyx?
Jaxson Price
The Valve one i guess
Jeremiah Butler
I never had a single social media account, not gonna start now to boot up a VR headset. Head a occulus account to revive shit from. But what am I gonna do now? Can I refund my games because of it?
Austin Lee
It's amazing that the Microsoft headsets are fairly benign compared to this. For poorfags the Quest 2 will be the only choice.
Oliver Mitchell
Probably anything but oculus, a g2 or index, maybe.
Elijah Ramirez
Ok, now for the serious question - when this shit is rolled out, how long until hackers just jailbreak the headsets?
>Facebook is the worst thing to happen to modern society I'd say twitter has quickly taken that spot now.
Owen Brooks
If this doesn't shut up the oculus shills nothing will
Kayden Hall
Great, now all your friends and family can get notification of your anime porn games.
Luke James
>Be Facebook >Sell each Quest 2 losing money thinking they can recover it by selling your data and having high prices in their closed store >End up using Quest 2 for steam stuff, porn and pirate apks >Suckerberg face then
It's easy for the kikebook AI to cross data and check how your fake account doesn't have any friend/relative or acquaintance in it's database or how none of the people from a random workplace or school do not recognize you.
David Russell
>VR is already niche >let's make a walled garden for it >while we're at it, let's make certain games exclusive to only certain types of our headsets so you have an exclusive3
Parker Jackson
Are you using a vpn when you make it?
David Kelly
Valve Index fully supports Linux
Juan Wilson
:>spends hundreds of dollars to play a VR game >create kikebook account without using your real name >"Umm, no sweetie, we can't spy on you this way, so no more game for you, and no refund." Imagine being such a literal retard to buy anything from kikebook.
Isaiah Clark
they also accept stool samples. just shit into an envelop bro.
Brody Wilson
>FB: We already have two cameras tied to your face to scan your room, friends, pets, incriminating evidence on your desk. Please give us the rest of your information too >Which information facebook, you already have my name and credit card number? >FB: Yes
Aiden Bell
>Can't sideload without a developer account >Can't even use the fucking thing without logging in and a phone app Gonna be a long time. Don't buy Facebook.
Connor Ward
This. Same with the OG Vive and Vive pro if you are cheap. It's amazing how hard Facebook shills have to make up strawmen to defend having a device that can be remotely bricked.
Lucas Rogers
This is exactly why the only VR games I pirate are Oculus’
I had a fb account with a fake name, dob etc. but real friends and shit and never ran into any trouble. If you're saying theyll ban people for not engaging enough that's one thing but kind of doubt it.
James Martinez
Imagine buying into VR That's the first mistake. >muh VR chat Get a gf and girls on this are degenerates anyway.
Camden Evans
>the OG Vive and Vive pro if you are cheap What about later Vive? I hate early Vive resolution, but Index is not shipping in my country.
Blake Sullivan
It's like facebook execs all sat in a room and asked "how can we snuff out this...oculus thing?". Why even buy it?
Caleb Ramirez
>buy VR headset >get banned off Facebook for wrongthink >your very expensive device is now a brick
