We don't need companies controlling the internet, and we certainly don't want them controlling our identity systems. The current status quo is already bad enough. Where is the implementation that allows me to own my identity? Why are my user records locked away in some (many) corporation's database?
- kbenson 9y agoYou're right that we don't need companies Co trolling g the internet, but it sure would have been nice to have a good login system backed by a company with the intentions and motivations of Mozilla (a non profit). Businesses aren't going to trade their content out of the goodness of their heart, they want something in exchange. I would much rather trade ad views through Mozilla using a list of my interests that I control than to allow excessive tracking and profile building by some untrusted third party. What we apparently have now is login collectives starting up, but who's to say how good or bad the practices are for each, or whether they have the ability to adequately secure their system.
