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: facebook.com/settings?tab=ap…

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

"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/1610… Not quite a fair statement.
