esset 2 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 I don´t ! I´m just saying, it raises question. I have never had a Facebook, Google or Twitter account in my entire life ! All for the sake of ´convenience´ ?? I just associate those ´platforms´ with invasions of privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not work for ESET, but I am sure ESET's Leadership/Management decided to make it easier for (silly) folks who use social media to access their website. I think it's called business and accessibility. I, as well, have never had a social media account and never intend to (because for me they are useless and a security risk). So I do not criticize what I do not know/understand. So, if you have concerns, please spell it out so we can all understand. Just because you and I are not using something that others use, does not make them bad or wrong. 50 years ago, convenience, in the USA, was having a milkman who delivered on your block so you did not have to go to a store or a dairy.

Most of the time it is used for accessibility. Users can choose whether to sign in via their social media profiles to make it easier to sign up. Also, I'm pretty sure that when you login via these portals, the social media site will tell you what information is being shared. I know this happens with facebook as it will say something like "This won't let the application post to your timeline" or "This will allow *application* to see your date of birth and email address" or something along those lines. I use Facebook a lot for my business and if a user wants their business account to be associated with ESET then I'm guessing this is what the social media sign in options are for.

Administrators Marcos 4,935 Posted September 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2018 If there is any information shared, it's only data that you fill in during registration if you don't log in via social media accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
