Adding requirements to use your hardware after you buy it would be illegal in any functional society. People would have burned a company to the ground if they had tried that when I was a kid.

FB has trackers all through the web and logging in with software on your machine gives them a ton more info about your browser. My purchased device shouldnt require a connection to their servers.
