THIS IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED REGARDING MY OCULUS ACCOUNT...

We're reaching out to let you know about upcoming changes to the Oculus platform. On October 11, 2020, we are updating the Oculus Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to reflect that Facebook, Inc. will become responsible for the Oculus platform and your Oculus information, and to provide more detail about how your information is collected, used, and shared. On that date, you will have the choice to continue using your existing Oculus account and remain under the updated Oculus Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, or to use a Facebook account on the platform and agree to new terms. Learn more.
Below is a summary of some of the changes we are making to the Oculus Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the updated documents. By continuing to use an Oculus account on the platform after October 11, 2020, you agree to the updated Oculus Terms of Service and acknowledge that the updated Privacy Policy will apply to you.
Here are some of the updates we are making to the Oculus Terms of Service:

Facebook's Role: Oculus has been one of Facebook's apps and technologies since 2014. Previously, the platform was managed by Facebook Technologies, LLC. With this update, we transfer this responsibility to Facebook, Inc. As a result, the Terms of Service are a contract between you and Facebook, Inc.

Other Updates: We also make some revisions for better clarity. For example, we clarify that the governing law for users in the European Union is the law of that user's Member State, and we provide further detail on how we enforce these terms, such as removing content (including apps and other content offered by third-party developers) that violate any of our terms and policies or infringe on intellectual property rights, and to ensure compliance with our Community Standards.

Here are some of the updates we are making to the Oculus Privacy Policy:

Facebook's Role: We updated the Privacy Policy to reflect that Facebook, Inc. is responsible for the Oculus platform and your Oculus information, and to provide more detail about how your information is collected, used, and shared now that Facebook, Inc. is responsible for the platform.

Oculus Features: We provide you with additional information about certain Oculus features and the information we collect to power them. For example, we explain how we collect information about your physical features and dimensions, such as your estimated hand size when you enable hand tracking. We also explain how we receive information about your Oculus Browser usage, such as the Oculus Browser features you use and crash reporting data.

I thought this was going to be about paying people NOT to use their FB account for 60 days. Conveniently right before the elections.
