Weavster, who reported on the social bulletin board Reddit, created a new account with his real name on Facebook, which he had never used before, in order to use the obtained Oculus Quest 2. After that, I linked it with an Oculus account that I had not used for 4 years, but 10 minutes later it was banned and I could not access the account or the device.

We even sent the driver's license data requested by Facebook, but Facebook did not reinstate Mr. weavster's account, saying, 'The decision has already been made and cannot be revoked.' This is a screenshot of the frozen screen released by weavster.

Even the past purchase history has disappeared from the Oculus account that weavster linked with the Facebook account, and weavster commented, 'Thus, there is a white blank paperweight now.'

In reply to this weavster thread, xb0n3z confesses that he had the same experience. According to the post, Mr. xb0n3z had not set a phone number, so his account was temporarily frozen and he sent a selfie video for revival. In addition, the freeze of the account was successfully lifted, and Oculus Quest 2 can now be used.

I don't know how to prevent these cases, but I talked about various cases and linked it with my Facebook account to set up the Oculus Quest 2 that the GIGAZINE editorial department actually received . Considering that it proceeded without problems, it seems that 'creating a Facebook account in advance' is a bad idea, and it is better to create an account and link while proceeding with the setup of Oculus Quest 2. is.
