#2> Part of that comes from Facebook's aggressive policy about making Facebook social media accounts (whose terms of service revolve around a "real name" policy) mandatory to use new Oculus VR headsets, including the Quest 2.
That's all I need to know to stay away from this. 300 bucks and you still need to use a Facebook account?? No thanks

Well it becomes even worst if you read further on, especially in the "Suspensions, invisible moderators, and rolling recordings" paragraph. Spooky

I'm no fan of Facebook, but as the article says, that's only relevant (currently) in Facebook apps like Venue and Horizons.

#6I stopped using facebook entirely apart from keeping up with acquaintances once they implemented their asinine rules like you can't post some kinds of links in chat and other irritations that added up over time til i couldn't take it anymore and shifted my digital life to discord(which is gradually getting worse but not quite there yet)
I just want anonymous chatrooms where i don't have to be ME just to talk about coffee,tv and anime.
Hard pass on the Oculus VR with all these quasi draconian identity laws. i'll wait for someone to fork their OS so all these stupid requirements or maybe just give up on VR. affordability seems to be coming with a lot of risk to my identity.

For someone that worries about his identity that much I would recommend removing the 4 social network accounts linked, including facebook, from your public website. I would also check your FB privacy settings to remove photos, friend list and workplace history from public sight.
