Searching for "sign in with twitter" pointed me to: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/sign_in_with_twitter
which I've already read. My understanding is that my application must be registered to use OAuth, and that the access type it requires (read/write) is determined by that registration. Doesn't this mean that, at a minimum, the user will be informed that my application may read their tweets and account details? This won't be the case, and I don't want to give users that impression.
