Facebook has problems, and although today we were talking about Facebook being forced to sell WhatsApp and Instagram, now it seems that have another problem related to Oculus accounts , because as we mentioned a while ago, Facebook will force Oculus users to have Facebook accounts if they even want to use the helmet.

On the one hand, users who create new accounts They will see how they must register with Facebook, and potentially be banned by not knowing that the Facebook algorithm treats new accounts without content as fake , while users Existing customers will have to use Facebook accounts if they don’t want to lose the content they have already purchased.

Be that as it may, federal authorities have initiated anti-abuse proceedings to investigate the relationship between Oculus and Facebook’s base platform, to determine if these account links really constitute an abuse of dominance by Facebook , something naturally prohibited.

In case Facebook was guilty of a crime for linking both accounts , it is possible that the changes were reverted and finally the users of Oculus helmets can continue using them without registering on Facebook, but it is something that is currently unknown because the investigation itself has not started.
