But now as we learn to live with COVID I think it’s fair to say you need to consider getting vaccinated to keep yourself safe.”.

He pointed again to statistics provided a week earlier, indicating that upwards of nine out of 10 people who get COVID-19 are people who have not been vaccinated.

Outside of that, this test doesn’t change how your Oculus data is processed or how it informs ads.” In 2019, Facebook announced it “will now use information about your Oculus activity, like which apps you use, to help provide…more relevant content, including ads”.

“We use first-party info from Facebook to target these ads, as well as some VR data.

Specifically, that VR data includes whether you’ve viewed content, installed, activated, or subscribed to a Oculus app, added an app to your cart or wishlist, if you’ve initiated checkout or purchased an app on the Oculus platform, and lastly, whether you’ve viewed, hovered, saved or clicked on an ad within a third-party app,” a Facebook representative explained over email.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to know how much of your use data inside of Facebook (and Instagram and other FB-connected services) might be leveraged by its combined advertising network, clear the rest of your day's schedule and dive in.

The thing is, Facebook itself created a revenue blocker for VR game and app creators up until now, since its "app policies" agreement has always forbidden third-party advertising services inside of any products.
