The GNU Project must never invite people to sign in to a GNU activity using a Gmail or Facebook account. To include those in a specific list of a few options would be to give Gmail, or Facebook, respectively, a special privileged position -- in effect promoting Gmail or Facebook. That would be wrong. We will not _punish_ or _reject_ people just for using those sites, but that is a different (though related) question. -- Dr Richard Stallman Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
