 |  Facebook pauses Oculus Quest headsets in Germany Privacy concerns Facebook has "temporarily paused" sales of its Oculus Quest headsets to customers in Germany after regulators indicated they were jolly concerned about the insistence that users must have a Facebook account. Facebook recently announced a requirement that all Oculus users will need to use a Facebook account by 2023 to log in to the device. In a brief message on the Oculus site, Facebook said that it had temporarily paused selling Oculus devices to consumers in Germany. "We will continue supporting users who already own an Oculus device and we're looking forward to resuming sales in Germany soon." In a statement to German news site Heise Online, the company said the move was due to "outstanding talks with German supervisory authorities... We were not obliged to take this measure, but proactively interrupted the sale". https://fudzilla.com/news/iot/51478-...ets-in-germany |
