That's why I said: "When I became a member of this forum, there was talk
that Oculus VR
and Facebook would always remain separate". I never stated that Facebook
said this themselves. I guess I was taken in by the small talk
but I hope I've learnt a lesson and won't be so easily taken in next
time. I'm only here to talk about other VR headsets now and PC -VR
content. I don't involve myself with Quest 2 threads anymore.
You know who truly can't be bothered with Facebook and Oculus? People who never post on a Facebook or Oculus platform.
I can't be bothered with r/Vive. So I've literally never posted there.

this forum didn't allow you to talk about other VR headsets or PC -VR
content, then I would have to go elsewhere. I had hoped that HP would
have had a forum of their own so that like-minded people could talk about the HP -G2, which I spoke about in the HP -G2
thread.
has allowed us to talk about VR and even non VR related subjects. Just out of out of interest though, do you know of any other forums that allow people to talk about different VR headsets and PC
-VR content? I guess I could join that one if it's active enough.

You must have missed the small print......Facebook to move all UK users onto US agreements.
lol
OK I'm confused... your post was stating that Facebook are having a breakdown because they're moving UK users to US rules. My point was that yeah, it's an obvious move, not really a breakdown.
If your point was that the UK isn't the US, well yeah but that isn't really the point.. it's just that Facebook have a choice, have the UK abide by the rules that Facebook have set up for the EU which have within them specific requirement shaped by EU law... or have the UK abide by rules that are the same as those that have been set up for the US.
Facebook have decided to do the latter for the reason (I assume) that it saves them setting up UK specific rules which would only be necessary if the UK had specific laws that would require specific rules.

I predict Facebook investing more in VR, in the event that Whatsapp and Instagram get sold off.
VR may be seen by Facebook as safer ground for expansion as it's harder to argue it's been anti-competitive in the same way that the social network buy-ups were.
Account requirements may change though and I'd be good with that 🙂
As far as the EU laws are concerned, UK customers may lose out if Facebook reduce warranty periods from 2 to 1 year as a result. Can't see any other issues.
Here in the UK, where we probably have the best consumer protection in the world, you actually have by law up to 6 years guarantee on expensive items under the Sale Of Goods Act if I'm remembering correctly.

We are still not grasping this, why would FB try and move UK users to US rules when the UK already has their own rules and privacy law that they abide by already, and have done so even while they were part of the EU, and just because the UK has broken away from the single market don't mean they are now some small lawless country from the mad max movies who need a new American sherrif to protect them, they have had their own rules and laws to abide by just like the EU and America have, so someone pop into FB headquarters and let FB know that the UK has been around a long time, long before the EU and long before America, and let them know the UK will be fine and not to worry about them. lol
