    That's why we block all that third-party stuff.

    I have opened a fake FB profile which I use to login into unimportant sites, it's handy.

    I've tried that, but Facebook seems uptight about Tor exits ;)

    It's been official for quite awhile. Rotten leechers.

    Just like sign in to Instagram-Twitter- what the heck ever else platform out there waiting like a magnet for metal. And/or vice-versa. It's a free for all and been that way a long time. Seen that potential INSTANTLY! the first time they toyed with cross sign-in capability across web platforms. It was inevitable.

    And with all the kids and adults who couldn't care less so long as they get into those sites, there's a ton of data already tagged/logged and stored :argh:

    This is exactly what happens when technology is allowed into the hands of the population before they even learn proper instruction on the IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL DATA SAFETY.

    Oh. Yeah and most of all data is likely already been SOLD! for mula.

    BTW, I seriously wonder how secure this ''Login with Facebook or Google'' stuff is. I have logged in via my Google ID and now it keeps asking if I want to also use it on other websites. In other words, this is just another tracking method right? Google or Facebook shouldn't be following me on other sites.
