Neat, but I still wouldn't touch oculus with a 10 foot pole especially when cameras in my home are invovled

Remember the wars between VHS and BetaMax, and VHS won because (supposedly) it allowed porn?

Well, now we could see the same thing happening. Oculus doesn't allow porn (because who in their right minds would watch it with their own personal Facebook ID tied to it, with cameras running and connected to the internet?). But a competitor that can dethrone Oculus isn't yet on the horizon. Where is our "VHS"?

This isn't a complaint. Just an observation :)

I'm willing to bet that a sizable portion of the population would watch porn on this device even after you explain this to them.

You must mean interactive porn on the official store? Because there are several players on the official store, plus the browser, that play porn fine.

I think you didn't read the entire comment.

I did. Still don’t know what you mean.

You can still do porn, just not in the store. You just need a website.

Or do you prefer your desktop porn to be via a .exe as well?

Ah, that comment again

I don't see how it's a weird opinion, I'm also speaking for myself others are free to enjoy the platform if they want I don't care

No your opinion isn't weird. I agree with you in fact. But we also dont need to share every opinion always (see: "Inside" by Bo Burnham).

Obviously some people like this technology and are happy to trade the choice of using their FB account, nor does your comment contribute any discussion to this cool feature or tie it back to the privacy discussion in any meaningful way. It might be worth letting people just enjoy that news.

I think you're right, looking back on it my comment was kind of pointless
