If I'm understanding what Facebook did correctly, the Google equivalent would be that whenever you "Sign in with Google" to any website or app, that website/app gets full and permanent read/write access to your Gmail. Are you alleging that this is the case?
- m0zg 8y agoI believe you're misunderstanding the situation, and I don't blame you. I believe that when you log in with FB it'd bring up your typical permissions dialog that would say what permissions you're granting. Most people don't read these, and even fewer actually understand what they're really agreeing to.
