Please can Oculus clarify these apparently contradictory statements.

After you finish creating a Meta account, you’ll be prompted to create a Meta Horizon profile, which replaces your Oculus profile. Your Meta Horizon profile is your social profile in VR and other surfaces, like the web.
Is it mandatory to have a Meta Horizon profile, or can you decline/skip this step after creating a Meta account? If the profile is mandatory then it is misleading to say the account is not a profile.
Lethal_Aims Please give us break and wait until next month when they come into effect lol!
It's a valid question and I would also like to know the answer. If you're not concerned with your personal data/privacy that's fine, please don't ridicule people who are.
Companies like Meta have not been taken to task for their misleading representations enough and look at the state of the industry as a result.
Anonymous Sorry but I didn't mean to ridicule anyone. While there are never any stupid questions, much of what is being asked is already spelt out in the Meta Blog t+c. I think further details will be much clearer when the process starts up next month. At least you have till the end of this year so it's not something you need to immediately jump into. Cheers.
Haven't actually had much luck getting a look at those terms and conditions as it appears I can not access them without a Facebook account?
Personally I want clarification before I am forced into agreeing to something without having the time tp examine whether that is a good idea.
I can not see how giving a company permission to arbitrarily render hardware you legally own useless could be a good idea?
It seems a pretty serious concern to me that compulsory social platform accounts make it possible for them to do this if you agree to it?
The fact that they seem to be declaring that they will disable access to your game library and the functionality of your headset if you don't give them permission to do that doesn't exactly inspire confidence either?
A few years ago I would have been certain the behavior is illegal but the last government cycle saw consumer rights seriously eroded here. Thus we have a new government now.
Yeh wait until it's to late. That's always a great idea?
