    I refuse to strap my face into spyware

    You can just make an account not connected to you at all and only use it for PCVR. Streaming from your PC to your headset doesn’t give them any access to your PC if that’s what you’re worried about. Boycott them for other reasons if you want, but this isn’t a privacy concern.

      They can still connect it to you by

      • gathering data on the device you use for setup
      • gathering data based off your wifi connection, local network, IP address, etc…
      • disambiguating from other possible matches based off height and other data they can access on the headset

      And even if it were anonymous, it’s very reasonable to be opposed to them having the data they can collect from the headset. Using a Facebook headset is basically like using a Facebook phone that also happens to track the movement of your head and both arms and your responses to more immersive stimulus.
