Will Facebook Become the Net's SSO? 314
lordDallan writes "Simson Garfinkel at MIT Technology Review muses on the idea of your Facebook account becoming an 'Internet Driver's License', ruminating on the idea of an individual's Facebook login becoming their single sign on for the web. I say NO THANKS!!"

My single-site login would be the sound of silence, as I have no Facebook account.

Why the hell would you give a privately owned company, based in a single country, the right to hold Internet users' single login "license"? Why? Even with the all those features you require.
Because Facebook is a magnet for fucktards and attention whores who don't use logic like you just did. They're sensitive about that in fact and will probably feel some serious butthurt and hate you for pointing out that there are serious flaws in this scheme. They just want to feel popular and special like Mommy always told them they were and you're a big meanie for having a grasp of the obvious and asking questions like "why". You might as well ask a Scientologist why they are a member of Scientology, you'll get an answer that makes about as much sense. They desperately need to feel like they are part of a big bandwagon and they need to feel like the bandwagon gets shiny new rims every now and then so they keep trying to find new uses for the site that provides them a phony sense of self-worth. It's sort of like the people who think the gossip covered by Entertainment Tonight is important and significant and deep while those with two brain cells to rub together wonder why anybody gives a shit about any of it.
