(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, file)BERLIN โ German regulators launched an investigation Thursday into Facebook over the company's decision to link its Oculus virtual reality products to the social network, authorities said. โLinking virtual reality products and the groupโs social network in this way could constitute a prohibited abuse of dominance by Facebook,โ said Bundeskartellamt president Andreas Mundt.
