I was floored to discover Reddit is violating Google’s Auth TOS! Check this out:
1. Log in using your Google account.
2. Log out of reddit.
3. Clear your Reddit cookies.
4. Visit Reddit again.
You’ll be automatically logged in..!! This is nuts, shady, and a violation of the Google TOS. You can’t keep users’ auth tokens, secretly, and then log them back in when you feel like it. A user clicking “log out” means you expire the auth token.
