    It never occurred to me that people would be blaming @oauth_2 for the Facebook mess. Friendly reminder that OAuth is what lets you control *which* parts of your Facebook data apps get access to, and what lets you revoke that access, which you can do here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications

      Thank you. It is written with little detailed technological understanding. But I wouldn't say that the criticism of Social Login infrastructure being controlled by 2-3 private corps is unfounded.

      There's always room for improvement! I would argue it's better than nothing though!

      "as we now learn that OAUTH, or Open Authorisation, is one of the many ways that Facebook and the app developers conspire to access not only your data, but that of your friends and contacts" heraldscotland.com/news/16100549.… Not quite a fair statement.

      Interesting. I have not seen those complaints. Could you perhaps share any? Clearly, #oAuth2 is about *delegation* and that is what most people miss...

      On the flip side, I do partially blame Facebook for the confusing mess that authentication with OAuth (still) is.

      That’s akin to reading Terms and Conditions for most folks. They won’t adjust those things.

      I didn't know @heraldscotland before but reading this sentence makes me laugh.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
