That's a good point. I never thought of it because I don't watch porn, which is probably unbelievable to the masses of addicts out there reading this right now. I had a Quest1 for a while (they hurt your face after a while from the pressure), and never tried porn. I enjoyed Beat Saber a lot though.
But I can say I probably would try porn on one at some point, and correct- I really don't want Facebook logging that.
The worst part about VR is that it's so intoxicating with its immersion that once you take it off you feel sad that this is where you really live, not a nice place. It gave me joy and took me away, but it also made me sad about my real life. It gives you a fantasy and more people should realize that multimillionaires and billionaires don't need virtual reality, they're living what you're putting on your face. I'm sure that includes the porn too.
Here's a worst-case hypothetical reason why: people will watch porn on VR. Maybe not everyone, but a lot of people. Even people who wouldn't want to watch it regularly are likely to get curious and check it out at least once to see what it's like. Now, raise your hand: who wants Facebook having access to their porn habits?
Oculus-the-tech is cool. Oculus-the-Facebook-client is completely dead to me. No way, no thanks.
