I don't get the angry comments... Oculus 1 only require an email address, because people didn't want to have to link their oculus account with their Facebook account.
...I don't know about Oculus 2, but the article is saying that Oculus 3 only requires a Meta account... It's not saying it has to be linked to your Facebook account.
Your account will just switch from being with Oculus, to being with Meta... It doesn't say anything about this suddenly linking your Facebook account to your Oculus/Meta account.
It doesn't have to say it. All Meta accounts automatically link all Meta products into it. Including Facebook and Instagram. It somehow knew about my Instagram even though I used a different email for that than I did with Facebook years ago, and when I made my Meta account for the Q3 it linked Facebook, Instagram and Oculus together without any additional input from me.
I deleted my Facebook account the first time they said you'd have to link your oculus account to Facebook and were banning new accounts people created to do so. I just converted my oculus to meta and still don't have a Facebook or Instagram account.
