I'm as much of a Facebook hater as the next disillusioned cyberpunk but I do want to pause for a second here. Buried somewhere in that thread are some tech details, which seem less troubling:<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4crsmo/oculuss_services_are_always_on_and_you_should_be/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4crsmo/oculuss_serv...</a><p>Seems like it's trying to connect to Facebook's regular presence servers at their edge POPs.<p>Not pleasant, but so far we aren't sure they are transmitting any information of note.<p>In other words, this is no worse than, say, Facebook Messenger's permissions or behaviors, at least from what we know at this point. Worth further study.
Wow, so they're saying Facebook can sell non-anonymized data about your computer usage to third parties. If this is actually true, that'd be a lot scarier than any Google or Microsoft policy.
