Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.
Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.
I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).
Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.
Asking after having this discussion.
An Sso account would mean one identity across all instances, which can be tracked and monitored.
Users using different account on different instances with different passwords are a lot more difficult to track.
Googles entire operation is about connecting users across different websites using identifiers and so on, because that’s where the value is. All that data under one profile is highly valuable to them.
It’s always like this by the way - users give up privacy for convenience or “safety”.
Later, you add ads when it’s too convenient to move away from the service.
