Snowden in your phone!
 
Dear Android freaks, seriously, why would a news app want my call, storage and accounts info access?
Yeah, and a freaking camera?

It's cute you think they're any different.

So if I create an app that request things from you instead of blaming me you would blame android?

They do have a certain amount 'editorial' control over what ends up on Google Play Store - People take it for granted that Google have thoroughly vetted the apps - I know I am guilty of that myself...

You've missed the thread idea entirely.

Idea is that you should not give that many permissions to any apps.
If you are saying that google play should not allow apps like that to be listed - that would be good idea as well.

I posted that because a lot of Android users are bashing iOS while the Android app is definitely asking for more then it needs to have access to.
And yes, correct.

Imagine the data these apps harvest. This is why they can sell companies who don't make money for millions, and in some cases billions, of dollars. It's all about the data.

Okay, Sid. I spent a little bit of time over the last couple of days writing an app JUST FOR YOU! Look for dVasive by LFCubed on the google play store. It will alert you when your camera or microphone are in use. ;)

because apple doesnt do this, right?

"it just works!"
"the screen is perfect for doing everything with your thumb"
Or any other commercial slogan apple zombies love to repeat.

If you love something, set it free ... then monetize the fuck out of it.
