That's not how OAuth works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth

> the government has a record of every site you've logged into

Only the ones where you chose to use their service. Or are we imaginging a future where this service has been made mandatory, and logins and passwords have been abolished?

Honestly, the amount of FUD in this thread is absurd. The government already has an enormous amount of information about your online activity! If they want more, their strategy will probably not be writing open source software and hoping you opt in to it!
