Creating an account with Google or Facebook is signing a contract (and one full of dubious data-sharing clauses at that), and I am not entering that contract out of my own free will. -(This is very different from accounts I had when working for Mozilla, which were part of a contract between Mozilla and the third party and where I did not have to create an account as a private person.
