Today, we’re announcing some important updates to how people log into Oculus devices, while still keeping their VR profile. Starting in October 2020:
Everyone using an Oculus device for the first time will need to log in with a Facebook account.
If you’re an existing user and already have an Oculus account, you’ll have the option to log in with Facebook and merge your Oculus and Facebook accounts.
If you’re an existing user and choose not to merge your accounts, you can continue using your Oculus account for two years.
After January 1, 2023, we will end support for Oculus accounts. If you choose not to merge your accounts at that time, you can continue using your device, but full functionality will require a Facebook account. We will take steps to allow you to keep using content you have purchased, though we expect some games and apps may no longer work. This could be because they include features that require a Facebook account or because a developer has chosen to no longer support the app or game you purchased. All future unreleased Oculus devices will require a Facebook account, even if you already have an Oculus account.
Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD

A strawman argument is an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.Like when you said: “ What you create now will be for public viewing where Steam for example would be not showing it as a public viewing. ... I be horrified to fine out they are being stalk just because they had to create a public facing account and them not knowing better.”
This makes it sound like Facebook is putting kids in danger, but it isn’t true. When you create a Facebook account and link it to an Oculus headset, the default setting is not to have your real name public-facing.

It was just on the news - it happens everyday - it doesnt have to be FB doing or not - we all know they're not trying to do that - but it happens. A girl was stalk under someone elses facebook account. The account it self wasn't the real users account - but she was unaware of the problem.
Drama over facebook bulling has kill kids.
Under the ToS it has to be the real name - other wise it wont match up to your CC and other factors.

As I've already mentioned you DON'T have to use your real name. You can use any name you want as long as it isn't offensive.
If Facebook pipe up and start complaining then tell them you can't use your real name due to an abusive ex partner. Job done.
