Limiting/customising user data collection

I don’t really see the point of this topic. Copying the actual text from your screenshot of Google auth:

  • view your name, public profile URL, and photo
  • view your gender
  • view your country, language, and timezone

Those are probably the standard minimum “package” of read only public attributes available from Google.

As Sam noted everything listed on your Twitter screenshot is already public. Very, very few people have private Twitter timelines, and as an avid user of Twitter since 2007 with 120k followers, I can say with confidence they are doing it wrong – using the platform in a way it was never intended.

(I have not seen your Facebook screenshot above, it does not look present. I personally solve that problem by never, ever having a Facebook account for the entirety of my life – Facebook simply cannot be trusted as an organization, at all, ever. They are fundamentally evil. If you trust Facebook with anything private, you are going to be a very unhappy person, sooner or later.)

If you really don’t want that very, very basic stuff exposed for basic “internet driver’s license” login credentials, **why not just log in with traditional username and password? ** Why would you bother even having an account on those sites, much less using it as minimum viable login other places on the web?

I’m sorry, but I don’t see any ‘bug’ here, and I honestly don’t see the point of this topic.

I guess that is the only actionable thing here?
