- TeMPOraL 8y agoSocial logins is - and was, back then - a thing people are used to.
- supermatt 8y agoi can’t tell if this is snark, but as an app developer, i have considered facebook login as a means for a relatively frictionless user experience, not as a way for me to gain access to a users facebook account.
- nindalf 8y agoNo no, if you added social login to your app it's because you're evil. You want to monetize your users, selling their data like it's 2014. You're literally Cambridge Analytica. /s
- acct1771 8y agoBut security-wise, it is the same.
- supermatt 8y agoNot at all. FUD. If you're going to make a statement like that at least come with some facts. There is a massive difference between me getting login permission TO MY OWN APP, and accessing a users facebook account, or masquerading as them on other apps.
- acct1771 8y ago...until Facebook mishandles their end, for example, the API. Which they have been shown to about a dozen times over this month.
- supermatt 8y agoI think you have either misunderstood the reports, misunderstand the API, or misunderstand how to integrate it. There is literally no way for me to accidentally steal a users data. You may not like facebook, but accusing me of putting my users data in jeopardy is just fucking cheeky.
