Facebook shipped tens of thousands of controllers for its new Oculus headsets with 'inappropriate easter eggs' making light of the company's privacy disasters. Among the 'easter eggs' were choice phrases like 'Big Brother is Watching,' 'The Masons Were Here,' 'This Space for Rent' and 'Hi iFixit! 'Unfortunately, some “easter egg” labels meant for prototypes accidentally made it onto the internal hardware for tens of thousands of Touch controllers,' Mitchell said. A Facebook spokesperson told the Verge that the easter eggs were hidden on the Touch controllers for the yet-to-be-released Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest, not the original Oculus Touch controllers that shipped in 2016. However, it seems Oculus noticed the easter eggs had been incorporated into the consumer hardware before it could remove them.
