Just casually mentioning that 97% of Facebook's revenue comes from advertising and it really doesn't know how to generate money any other way.

Everything Facebook does, including making hardware, is just an avenue to open up more advertising inventory. https://t.co/1vp7h4IB9J

New post on Facebook VR ads.

Notice & consent model is broken for tracking appropriate flows of data.
Oculus says in a blog post they "have no plans to use movement data to target ads", but yet nothing in their privacy policy prevents them from doing so.https://t.co/8MrSPfrVeK https://t.co/n1aK8DJLyP pic.twitter.com/3Q6krKqreH
You can manage what ads you want to see and we’re including controls to hide specific ads or hide ads from an advertiser completely. Ads in VR will be different from ads elsewhere and this is a space that will take time and people’s feedback to get right https://t.co/dHOlqHoOVF
