good idea...but less profitable, though Facebook will continue to track these "banned" users as they roam around the network and trade on their information anyway.
less profitable wouldn't matter if the law would dictate that every device needs to support multiple vendors with feature parity and the user/owner of a device is legally entitled to use it in whatever way they see fit.
Yes, this would cause price increase. But a lot of people would gladly pay for it. The ones who don't want to, could accept a "discount" in exchange for becoming a glass citizens.
Why do "apps" even need to be installed on it. Isn't it just a sensor array and a couple of displays?
I used to think everyone should learn a programming language just so they can experience its expressive power but more and more I wish they would so they wouldn't get duped by really dumb marketing.

So sick of "but that's less profitable"... these companies should exist to serve their customers, not shareholders
I'm not sure if you're serious about this, but it seems very short sighted. If this were the case, I don't think the word "company" would still apply.
However, capitalism doesn't leave consumers with no options - vote with your wallet!

Actually, it wouldn't. Facebook makes obscene profits. Rather than be uncompetitive, they'd keep the same price.
If it's not profitable, then that means the market can't solve it, ergo we need regulation
> but less profitable
If we gave Facebook the choice of stopping stealing from people like this, or getting shut down, they'd do this in a second.
In a sane society, Facebook would have been shut down years ago, after the 2016 election.

Because Quest 2 is a stand-alone VR headset. It is not a display device for a computer, it is an all-in-one. So you install games on it to play them.
The camera based tracking is a marvel of modern engineering. Making something seem simple is really really hard.
