Because Facebook needs your data.

And it's incredibly creepy. Movement just feels like an extremely intimate piece of data.

Agreed.

Luckily my favorite purchases are on steam and 2 years gives me plenty of time to move on from my rift. I'm not going to be forced to use facebook.

Last thing I need is a remote exploit on my tracking cameras and facebook telling them exactly who and where I am.

They manage to harvest my data just fine in Instagram and WhatsApp without having to login using Facebook
