   I had an Oculus Quest and it was a really great device. After the "Meta" rebrand, the quality rapidly decreased and now it wants me to upload my ID to Meta to keep using it. Absolutely not! Zuckerberg already has way too much information on me, uploading my state issued identification to them is such an insane ask, I will never do it. While this looks like interesting hardware, the company behind it has unacceptable and user-hostile practices, so I'll pass.

      How do they explain why they need your ID to use VR glasses?

         Age verification.

            Yes but why do you need to verify your age to use computer hardware?

               For the same reason you need to show ID to go into a bar/pub.
