People should never, ever be using their Facebook logins to sign in to other applications, and developers have a responsibility not to allow that to proliferate. I wouldn't use Facebook creds to log into any application, so I sure wouldn't push that on users who don't know better.
- aianus 11y agoBecause? Why should I spend 2 minutes creating an account for, say, 9GAG, instead of signing in with FB with one click? Why is 9GAG irresponsible for offering me that option?
- silverbax88 11y agoYes, because now they are allowing a third party to track you. You may be fine with it, but most users are not aware that FB is tracking them everywhere AND that their credentials are being handed off across a third party. Never, ever do this. We rail about banks and credit firms handing off our data but are apparently perfectly fine with handing off our users data without their knowledge to a firm with known privacy issues.
- philh 11y agoApparently, I'm a user who doesn't know better. Thank you for taking the time to condescend to me.
- silverbax88 11y agoYou're welcome, and FaceBook thanks you for sharing so much about yourself.
