I now get why Zuck has tied Oculus devices to Facebook accounts, it's a lot easier to corporate-doxx people who might do bad stuff using their Oculus. Although I guess some people could plausibly claim it was someone else using their device (people living with others) and the law usually needs a definitive suspect. If it even reaches the courts, with the broken American justice system...


Meta could have virtual prisons.
