Description

I get to where I am asked to make a Facebook post and trying to click that link I get this request:

![turn on platform - mozilla firefox_303](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/831184/20454256/d8f62b8a-ae43-11e6-843b-3abc4603b61f.png)

I am not interested in enabling Facebook platform even for Keybase (and there are far more useful services that would use Facebook platform), so how do I proof my "ownership" of my account without letting all kinds of apps (including those that "friends" use) access whatever I have entered to Facebook?

Update on 2018-09-05: I have removed my Facebook account months ago, so this issue doesn't concern me anymore, but I am keeping this open as this affects everyone using Keybase and Facebook even if only the users blocking Facebook App Platform become aware of this.
