Hey -- my smart and humbled colleague Matthias wrote a blog post about Apple's recently announced "Sign In With Apple" and whether or not it's a game changer for online privacy. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
>>options to log into websites using your Facebook or Google or Twitter IDs are becoming more and more ubiquitous, making sign-in easy to set up, but exposing all your activity to the social media site you are signed into. What's a privacy-conscious Internet user to do?

er... take the extra five minutes to create an account on those sites using an email address, instead of hitting that "Sign in with Google / Facebook / Twitter / Other Data-Slurper" button?

So Apple will now know which service you use and that is called privacy wow!!
A verifiably tracking free anonymous Auth service provided by the likes of duckduckgo or eff would be news/privacy worthy.

But this celebration of having the opportunity to give your info directly to a different faceless megacorp is beyond me.

Durrrr what is a business model. Go back to banging out python you learned at that shit boot camp.
