For once I think all Goggers are in agreement. This is our greatest fear (see attached pic)

i'm kinda shocked people use galaxy for forums it took years for people just to accept the client option after the "force client" problem in the past

I was about to start a thread about this. I have noticed it only happens when using the Gog launcher, whever I navigate the program. Firefox always opens this link: https://staticxx.facebook.com/connect/xd_arbiter.php?version=44#

That guy sounds like my last IT rep. Just like so much here. I've lost faith that they'll actually fix anything, or rather that something more egregious won't break when they do. Their web/tech teams seem like old school hackers slapping everything together piecemeal.

I was always defending galaxy and gog. But this........this is not OK. Not at all. It shows that our data and our pc's are not safe with gog.

The Facebook login support should be deactivated entirely. It was a terrible idea back when it was introduced (and got a lot of criticism) and things like these show that it still is. GOG should take the privacy of their users way more seriously.

Agree and one of the reasons that turned me off Galaxy in the first place.

If I had to venture a guess, it looks like GOG Galaxy may be using the Facebook Messaging platform (which is available as a service for businesses and does not require users to be on Facebook) and is probably how they are providing messaging services in Galaxy (as opposed to writing their own solution).
It's quite possible they are using a script from their SDK that is now out of date or perhaps need to update their own use of it in their scripts.
Either way, they do need to fix it as it seems to be freaking people out and there's nothing like seeing a Facebook URL (even in software as a service) which is going to start making people distrust the platform.
