I agree. Ultimately it was Facebooks decision to enact this policy. Why do people gravitate towards blaming him ? Is it just because they feel he’s lied to them and should be held accountable even though he may have only been naive ?

Its funny how in situations like this one, where one person facilitates another’s wrongdoing, they (Palmer) are put under the spotlight more so than the bad actor (Facebook)

They got him to admit he was wrong. That's more satisfaction than they'll get from Facebook.

Well, to a cynical person facebook is a user privacy wood chipper.

You don't throw something into a wood chipper then get mad at the wood chipper for chopping it up - that's just what it does.

(Of course it's easy for me to say, I haven't spent $$$ on Oculus products)

>> Why do people gravitate towards blaming him ?

It is entirely possible that some consumers, if not some developers / investors / etc, made choices and decisions based on those unequivocal claims.
