So you think if someone is selling a physical product and they require registration that it's reasonable to force them to stop requiring it with the threat of physical violence from the government?

I just don't see how that is justified. The seller isn't defrauding anyone and isn't using violence themselves. It's so much more easy and ethical to just not buy the product. All you can do is take personal responsibility. Calling for violent coercion like you've done is wrong.

Why would they require registration? They should have customer data on the invoice. There is no need for anything else.

  • I agree. That's why when Facebook bought Oculus back in 2014 I decided to buy the open platform HMD instead, the Vive. It was obvious even then what Facebook would do. What they always do. And the way to get around it is to not use Facebook products or services.
