    Last time I used facebook they required me to send in a legal ID after a couple months of being registered, which locked me out of my oculus quest 2 headset back when they required facebook accounts and weren’t called meta.

      “they required you”

      Have you never thought that you can actually NOT do these things?

      I mean, sure, maybe you had a good reason and you felt it was fine. But I wonder how many people just do what the screen tells them without realizing they can actually say no and be ok with the consequences.

        Well I didn’t send it in. I just got oculus support to separate my facebook account from my oculus account, which at the time new standalone oculus accounts were not able to be created. So I found the only loop hole to make a new standalone oculus account.

        This account was eventually migrated to the meta account system and still works while my facebook account still doesn’t work.
