Hi All,
Facebook decided to disable our login integration (without any warning that I saw) because in our privacy policy we don’t explicitly state what personal data we “process” or something to that effect. It’s somewhat humorous to me that the worst offender of privacy violations on the planet would all of a sudden get interested in this to the point of reading our privacy policy and having a problem with that being missing after all these years, and disabling our integration, but hopefully that means they are getting some significant pressure put on them to fix the way they do things, and they are just pushing that pressure downwards. I wouldn’t hold my breath that they’ll actually fix their own platform anytime soon though.
Regardless, we’ll be updating our privacy policy to note that we don’t “process” personal information beyond letting folks share their name on their profile if they choose to, and it’s easy enough to remove that optional information whenever you want. Hopefully that’ll check whatever box they’re looking for and facebook login will work again. They say reviews take about 48 hours, and since they decided to do this on a saturday night, I’d expect the earliest it’ll be working is mid-late next week.
In the mean time, if you use facebook to login, maybe don’t logout, and if you find yourself logged out and need to log back in, contact me at anoek@online-go.com and I’ll set your password so you can login with a good ol’ fashioned login and password.
