Ive seen MS is having to do a lot of work in regards to pro privacy due to EU regulation, I switched on my oculus quest which I keep offline and questioned if enforced account, locked in applications that serve beyond base functions and the locked down setting, surely all this goes against privacy laws in some way.

Is this something regulators and Facebook will address or will fb slide through the cracks?

    I don’t have an answer to your question, but I just wanted to say, I appreciate you still calling them Facebook and not Meta.

    Also just to add: Using an Oculus Quest (at least without the “for business” variant) for work related use cases within EU poses risc for:

    • business continuity when used with fake Meta accounts to have a kiosk mode and rotate devices among personnel
    • GDPR because Meta doesnt sign proper DPA’s

    It is. Thats also the reason why the quest is jot available in germany. (Or at least the quest 2)
