I sincerely hope the facebook privacy scandal(s) could lead to rethinking such schemes,
and opposition against this "a free service meaning,
you the browser user being abused for Big Data profit-optimizing.

Here a link to an article about the ongoing privacy invasion through facebook: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/04/19/facebook_third_party_site_login_security_leak/

Tracking firms involved in such schemes:

OnAudience -http://api.behavioralengine.com/scripts/be-init.js User ID (hashed), Email (hashed), Gender
Augur -https://cdn.augur.io/augur.min.js Email, Username
Lytics -https://c.lytics.io/static/io.min.js (loaded via OpenTag) User ID
ntvk1.ru -https://p1.ntvk1.ru/nv.js User ID
ProPS -http://st-a.props.id/ai.js User ID (has code to collect more)
Tealium -http://tags.tiqcdn.com/utag/ipc/[]/prod/utag.js User ID
Forter -https://cdn4.forter.com/script.js?sn=[] User ID

Use NoScript or uMatrix to block such facebook-log-in personal data slurping 3rd party scripts.

What to think of this suspicious code: https://urlscan.io/result/8d4663cf-9f09-4ff4-b17d-bc086644ee77/content/

and the error or “mock” analysis here:
