I refuse to strap my face into spyware
You can just make an account not connected to you at all and only use it for PCVR. Streaming from your PC to your headset doesn’t give them any access to your PC if that’s what you’re worried about. Boycott them for other reasons if you want, but this isn’t a privacy concern.

This is a very naive position.
I mean I could write an insightful one, but it would be long. I can link you to the myriad of privacy violations Meta has implemented that make it abundantly clear that they absolutely do not give a single fuck and will hoover up as much data as humanly possible as they piss on your face and tell you it’s raining.
They can still connect it to you by
- gathering data on the device you use for setup
- gathering data based off your wifi connection, local network, IP address, etc…
- disambiguating from other possible matches based off height and other data they can access on the headset
And even if it were anonymous, it’s very reasonable to be opposed to them having the data they can collect from the headset. Using a Facebook headset is basically like using a Facebook phone that also happens to track the movement of your head and both arms and your responses to more immersive stimulus.
