VR Nerd here -

Facebook bought out Oculus and required users to associate their facebook account to their VR gaming account.

Facebook has made a VR equivalent to Zoom calls for remote work which they're rolling out. This means all meetings within this app could be monitored.

There is a Sci-Fi history of "Cyberspace" which is a digital world/universe that is in essence a world you can go in VR and live your life. Work, play, hang out, etc.. all connected together in a "Metaverse". This is their clear goal. As a nerd, I love this idea, but as someone who cares about their privacy, having Facebook run the whole show means a huge risk to privacy for entire digital lives.

Not just social media posts.. but spending time with friends, online dates, digital Bible studies, work meetings, anything you can do in RL (real life) that you end up doing there.. can be spied upon.

Tie a monitoring and China-style credit system into VR and you have a place that punishes people's social lives as devastatingly prejudicial as an unpopular Tweet or bot-demolished Reddit post.

Remember this is not just about Baby Boomer lives not caring about VR.. but all the younger generations who grew up on the internet and are VERY READY to spend their Social Media time in VR when the technology is right.. and I'd say that's within 5 years. And we're easily 1+ years into deep adoption.

VR IS NOT JUST FOR GAMING NERDS.. the social element attract WOMEN (who typically don't game, awesome exceptions notwithstanding) and non-gamers in general. Want to watch the Big Game with your buds? You can do that in VR. This is Iphone level technology changes, once it's rolled out.. and FB has triple-downed on it by doing this.

Trump social media developers.. you need a VR gameplan... NOW. I recommend SteamVR.
