So one way to handle this from your side would be to just forget the
user's OAuth tokens. Your app will still appear "authorized" to the user
in the connections screen, which would be confusing, but your
application wouldn't be able to perform any operations on their behalf.
It might be useful to have a "destroy credentials" endpoint though, to
remove your app from the connections screen.
