Browsing throughout those courses I found out that more then 50% of them require you to either sign in with FB or Google in order to access them, so no thank you. Remember, if something is free then you're the product.
- user_50123890 7y agoit doesn't always have to be nefarious. By having a FB/Google sign in a website won't have to deal with implementing login, registration, email verification, forgotten passwords, etc. Oh and even better; if they get hacked then all the hackers will be left with are hashed FB/Google IDs.
