Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
"Bank Robbers used Honda, Toyota, and Camry getaway vehicles"
Like... okay? That's hardly the issue. The login systems used have nothing to do with the crimes being committed.
The article's paywalled, so I dunno if there's much more to it than this, but this seems like a ridiculous headline.
Right, and the article makes it sound like a good thing that an SSO provider should be policing things. I see it as almost as bad as PayPal "policing" things against their moral code i.e. when they freeze funds for completely legal NSFW creators

I've been very leery about the idea of letting companies own someone's credentials via SSO in general, so if it encourages at least diversification away from a few SSO providers, I'm kind of enthusiastic about SSO providers imposing restrictions on people using their services.
You don't need to be vetted to use OAUTH. And you shouldn't need to be. It would kill OAUTH completely.
Won't this make it super easy to track down whoever's using this?
Yeah. You have to make a developer account to make an API token in order to setup any of those oauth options.
Granted, you could just put in random bullshit in the developer accounts, but generally I'd bet google would still know who the person involved is.
So I'm thinking back to the times I've used it. I want to say I assume they have a way to track where this is being used based on referrer, but I don't remember clearly enough. I don't think a given token has to be tied to any URL. You just get a token and validate it with a service.
But people who use it on a daily basis could probably answer more definitively. I've just used it a couple of times and didn't bother retaining it because it's easy to figure out when you need it.
Blaming the company for SSO lol
Harmful nudify websites used the Internet, electricity, computer(server) parts...
Uh, someone really don't know how OAuth works.
