How could anyone expect anything they use the device for to be private when it is owned and serviced by Facebook?

Apple’s investment in Privacy is going to pay off so big.

I wonder if Facebook can spin off a company that includes Oculus and competes with Apple on Privacy.

I’d guess no.

Because when facebook bought oculus they claimed that it would never require a fb account and tracking kept at a minimum. That lasted all of maybe six months and finally totally fell apart with the announcement of the 'facebook only' login.

Why would Facebook spin off anything? I see that happening only if congress forces a break up. Spinning Oculus out of FB seems like a low hanging fruit of a forced break up.
