#2A surprise to exactly nobody.
When are people going to stop rewarding the exploitative behavior of Facebook and its offspring?

#3It’s Facebook’s service, what did you expect. Also, recommending products based on your past experiences is something pretty much every service provides.

Yes. However, it is not apparent which inferences are possible to make with this kind of sensor data. How invasive might this become?

#5At first I read it as "will not be used". "Yet" I thought to myself. Then I reread the title. "Oh" I though to myself.

#6And this is the reason I never touch anything that has a connection to Facebook.
No surprise really but it irks me as I wanted the rift some time ago but then Facebook bought it.
Luckily it seems like Valve Index will be a good alternative.

They'll classify how people move and join that with profiles they've already created on Facebook.
They'll try to figure out if you have any kind of disability.

It is not exactly clear to me whether you are down playing the implications or not, but lets assume you are:
If this weren't invasive, they wouldn't be doing it. What use would random data be to Facebook? Also, it is irrelevant: if I buy a VR set I want to use it for whatever I see fit, not get hooked into some data collection machine. How is it that we have come to accept that in order to use products, that we buy even, we have to hand over lots of data?

They won't. People buy what's in the store / is marketed and expect products to work, functionally, but also in the greater context, in their effect on society as a whole. Voting with the dollar does not generally work to steer corporate behaviour.
