It's just a simple tactic: when everyone's aware, tread carefully. In 2 years, when nobody expects it, do your move. Also, right now FB has little to add to Oculus. They'll let OR do their thing untill it gets results. THEN they'll give it the FB treatment.
Welp, guess the OR is off limits. Can't risk Zuckerberg using his hardware peripheral to track my sensitive information of: movies watched and games played
Not as familiar as people need to be with it's use, it seems Google are identical. Valve, EA, Microsoft, even web forums like these. They all have data on us. The larger corporations mentioned don't even have to adhere to privacy constraints because they're quite simply too big. They stuff enough in their EULA or ToS to completely avoid any serious repercussions. Fun fact. You're not actually protected (nor sure you be) by any American Constitutional Amendment with regards to free speech on a web forum. You void any rights to completely free speech in most ToS' Also, Jesus, the NSA? Seriously? There's hyperbole and there's being a massive drama queen. The NSA are far, far shadier
I used to moderate a UK political party's web forums - I am very familiar with that particularly contentious issue
Define "private website", and explain how Facebook is any different in a legal context, considering they own the site.
You would be surprised how many people bring "my right to free speech" into forum moderation decisions.
At first, I didn't really care about the OR all that much. It is only somewhat useful in many of today's games. But then, Elite: Dangerous. And suddenly I wanted an OR quite badly. Now . . . now I just hope that Valve does decide to make their VR tech available to the public. If not, I guess I'll just have to stick to my good, old TrackIR.
all the datas ... we haz them ... Really, if you're concerned with a web site using your personal information, just don't give them that information! Besides, no one really wants to know what you had for breakfast.
Hey now! Some people care about what they had for breakfast...... cough*ahem* http://imgur.com/gallery/aP7nvHo
