Parameters: {
  "utf8"=>"✓",
  "authenticity_token"=>"nqLr/ZukyXt5/sFNU9FGciBbSOSJ2MkE7Roo5WwfVEo=",
  "profile"=>{
    "first_name"=>"Daniel",
    "last_name"=>"Clark",
    "socials_attributes"=>{
      "0"=>{
        "kind"=>"twitter",
        "username"=>"@6ftdan"
        }
      }
    },
  "button"=>""
}
