This a text book example of moving the goal posts, and I don't care to see it on HN. Android obviously allows more freedom to app developers than Apple, including the freedom to raid the cookie jar numerous ways.

Your original claim was that OP needed to substantiate their credentials; it was done (regardless of who).

HN Guidelines suggest we reply to the strongest argument being made and to give the benefit of the doubt, and that doesn't seem to be your approach.

Edit: I can't believe I'm defending FB or anyone that caused their increase in usage.

No, you misunderstand the whole point. Credentials don't matter in an anonymous setting. That's the whole point, people can converse on equal terms. The only "credentials" in common display is whether or not your account is new.

Its purposely designed that way to encourage conversation. Its not like at work where you may fear challenging someone at a higher level than you.
