[INDOLOGY] Fwd: Academia.edu creepy things

[Dominik Wujastyk]

This can only happen if you explicitly allow an app to get data from
Google.  And you can do a "security check"
<https://myaccount.google.com/security> with your Google account where you
see each external application and what data you have given it permission to
see ("apps with access to your account
<https://myaccount.google.com/permissions?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmyaccount.google.com%2Fsecurity>").
The first time you log in to something like Academia with your Google
account you are asked how much you want to share.  Normally, it's just your
name and email account, which is what you want to share anyway.
