Yes, it is technically not called a facebook account, but it is effectively the same thing in terms of privacy.

I disagree. The worst thing about the facebook account requirement was that it meant your VR profile was directly tied to a public social media account with your full name. That's much worse when it comes to privacy. It forced people to join an otherwise unrelated social network just to get their VR headset working. You could lose access to your VR library by getting banned on facebook. Without all that, it's the exact same thing as the regular Oculus accounts that existed before the facebook requirement.

In any case, you can think whatever you want about meta accounts. I simply pointed out the fact that facebook accounts are no longer required. I didn't say that meta accounts have good privacy or that you should get a Quest. I personally use a Valve Index. Downvoting an easily provable fact or calling it bullshit seems silly to me but eh. I guess reddit's debate culture is slowly taking hold here as well.
