This is a gen x complaint. Boomers would just ask their kids to set it up because they can't get it to work. Gen x realizes what is going on and that it is bullshit to need an account for a fucking lightbulb.
My late 50s mum happily signs up with her Facebook to everything. Meanwhile it's often the people in their late 20s to 30s who were introduced to computers during their youth before everything had super streamlined GUIs who know enough about software that they realize this is a privacy concern, what internet privacy means, and why it's important. People who are older or younger than that have to go out of their way to learn how and why to look behind the easy interfaces. That's my experience and explanation at least.
I really wish more things just let me log in with Facebook, I don't want to fill out and make passwords for every pointless site. At least I can be somewhat confident that Facebook will follow security standards.
Hahahahahaha Facebook follow security standards? Your fucking kidding, right?
Facebook, probably the first greatest scourge of privacy invading companies (worse than Google), follows secjrity standards?
The motherfuckers have a profile on me, and I've never once been on any Facebook website or service, let alone logged into any Facebook crap.
You’re probably aware, but welcome to third party tracking. You can’t truly get away from this trash unless you start doing some hardcore blocking at the network level (apps have tracking too).
