The TRUTH about the NEW Meta Accounts

Quest v43 is officially adding the new Meta account structure and will be phasing out the Facebook account requirement. This is a big win for VR users.. right!? Well, not exactly. In this video, I discuss why I think that it makes no sense for why some people REFUSED to pick up a Quest headset purely based on the Facebook account requirement, but are HAPPY with the new Meta account update. There are other benefits to this new account change that I do acknowledge as well. In short, this is definitely a step forward for the virtual reality community, but not for the reason I see people celebrating for.

At a party or even at home I can now comfortably let anyone use my oculus quest 2 without thinking that they are reading my Facebook inbox messages or looking through my private Facebook photos and information, so that’s one great reason I’m happy, to just have a meta account instead of the fb account on it

[@developRHUNT]

That is another good benefit that I did not think of!

[@Wardellwaters]

@@developRHUNT I added authentication to my account but I deleted the authentication app by accident and lost everything what do I do😓

[@PastorOogway]

As someone who never had a Facebook account and bought a Quest 2 right before August waiting for them to remove the requirement, this is my reasoning: In terms of data, yeah I literally bought their headset and paid for games that automatically gives the company and the seller my name, my address, and credit card info. Hell just shopping at Walmart gives that info to the company. You can't casually live life in America and expect to be completely hidden from companies and especially the government. IF for whatever reason poop hit the fan in the country and I had to be unseen by the government, then yeah, duh, I wouldn't be playing video games and vr, as a matter of fact I wouldn't be shopping in stores. At all. And thats stuff you adjust to when the time is right as needed, not when you're living in a civilized country still. The reason I *didn't* want to get Facebook, is cause I don't want it, I have no need for a social media account (granted KZbin and Discord are "technically" social media, but be real, it's not the same thing) and I especially don't want something so unrelated to be required to use *My* Vr headset that has nothing yo do with Facebook other than the branding. Two totally different things with totally different purposes. And I especially don't want my headset getting bricked *If* something did happen to the account. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 🗿

I’m probably old-fashioned, but I hate that I have to sign up for this new account center in order to share posts between Instagram and Facebook. It’s another whole level of privacy settings to try and understand an activate in order to give them the least amount of information possible, and the whole thing is designed to make it hard to do, with constant changes, and the greatest possibility that I will miss something. I live in Europe, and I’m curious to see how this all plays out with our privacy protections here.

I worry that so many younger people (people who were born after privacy was already shredded) just accept whatever terms and conditions they have to in order to have access to anything and everything new.

[@giantenemyspider2776]

i think i found a way around the bricking of consoles: a good way to bypass it that i have found online (since i havent purchased mine yet) is that you could just buy your vr games on something like Steam and just play connected to the pc. If you ever get banned its just the SPECIFIC account that gets banned so you can just factory reset, use another Meta account, and keep going!

As far as the data collection, what is the difference between an Oculus account and a Meta account? It seems either way you have to ave an account to use your Qculus. Without either, then you can';t use your Oculus anyway. So: darned if you do, darned if you don't. Thanks for the Video!!

[@18ccase]

The biggest difference is that I will not have to get past Facebook's fake account creation every time that my work gets me another headset. Facebook's fake account creation system is terrible to get past. Every account I have created for a new headset in the last 4 months has been instantly flagged and deleted. I currently have 16 headsets and only three are usable at a time since I do not have enough accounts. This update is going to allow educators and companies to actually use their headset in mass without breaking facebook TOS. I was hired by a college to create VR sims for classroom use like a year ago and I haven't been able to do my job because I can't even get the headsets to work.

The only advantage is that if I decide I've had enough of Facebook and decide to delete that account, I don't brick my own headset since the account is now separate. While I could just quit using that account, leaving it open would require me to lock it down to prevent it from becoming an attack vector which would take more effort than just deleting it. The likeliness of my deleting my Facebook account is small, but not zero, so having the option is a positive.

like you point out, having your facebook account banned can cause problems for your Quest Using a Meta account that is not linked to any other accounts like Instagram or Facebook will allow users without having to link their facebook which adds obvious benefits like not having to worry about your facebook being banned and it effecting your quest I set up my Quest with a Developer Oculus Account and never linked a facebook, when given the option to upgrade to a meta account I went for it, I am not unhappy with my decision so far, I don't really see how the tracking and privacy will be any worse with using a Meta account over an Oculus account, You can still use a thing like a Pi Hole to block connections to facebook and meta after setting up the Quest

[@acdimalev8405]

There's two sides to the data privacy "problem". The first side is the excessive amount of tracking and data hoarding that big software companies are slowly becoming infamous for. In this regard, at least the new Terms of Service sets some direct expectations of what that data will be used for. Sure, that's not perfect, but it's way better than what it used to be; just try reading the Meta ToS and the Facebook ToS and see if you can even tell me how they relate. The second side is basically public data leakage. How much of your personal information is a system leaking without your consent. Let's just say that I've never had to worry about my information on an Xbox or Playstation account when applying for a new job or apartment. Similarly, I've never felt the need to warn somebody about theft concerns around letting friends know you're heading off on vacation on a gaming platform. The structure of a social media platform has real world consequences. To the public, my Meta account has a cute user icon, a user name, and not much else. Meanwhile, I have access to jump into voice chats and send text messages, which are essential for playing with others in VR. This is a huge step forward, and not having this is why I put all of my VR gear up on a shelf years ago. Mind, this change was just made. Oculus has pulled a bait-and-switch on me twice, once with closing up the SDK, and again with the Facebook shenanigans on the Quest. But they've also made VR a thing that I've been able to share with friends and family. I think the correct phrase for how I feel about this change is "cautiously optimistic".

[@developRHUNT]

“Cautiously optimistic” is the best positive take you can have when it comes to Meta imo. I am optimistic for the VR industry as a whole over the next 10 years, but not convinced Meta will always be on top (and kind of hope they won’t be!)

They pay very hard for leading the industry. The product is overly financed internally. Imo they lead the way only because they pay up to some 300k$ junior positions and that cross service subsidies, other than that Oculus would have closed door going this way.

[@RobertoKv]

Facebook was the worst thing that happened to oculus. There's no way back to quote-on-quote "privacy" now, no matter how you put it. Facebook make money from data, they simply can't *not* take your data, rebranding or not. I somehow still have an Oculus account. I think as soon as new VR companies release standalone headsets, Facebook will crumble due to their awful corporate decisions (such as Horizon). They only had the lead since they had the cheapest standalone headset. The internet is a place for freedom, and in recent years social media datamining has resulted in the loss of that - you say something on social media, it can impact your life.

[@developRHUNT]

Yup. Facebooks main contribution for VR may end up being creating a competitive market where others will shine. I’m personally really hyped for the PSVR2. I need to look more into the pico 4 as well

In all honesty even for the hardware of the quest 2 is isn’t much to worry about for now. I however disagree with it being easier for them to track your data, as a Facebook account is capable of tracking your VR data AND Facebook data (what ads you fall for ect;) while a Meta account can only track VR data, so while they both create a digital profile of who you are, the algorithms now have to take a guess at who on Facebook owns your Meta account, even then messing up

@@developRHUNT il get it on my VR headset in a few months time when the weather is alot colder because the Vr headset gets very hot lol - was using it otherday in 27C playing walkabout minigolf and i sweated loads even with usb fans on but in the winter its way better for VR games if that makes sence

[@developRHUNT]

@@RichyJFilms 100% agree! Hopefully headsets become more lightweight and cooler to use during the summer in the future!

[@RichyJFilms]

@@developRHUNT will take years for that to happen if it ever happens

[@developRHUNT]

@@RichyJFilms no doubt! I feel like VR is still 10 years away from TRUELY being great. Going to be a fun journey!
