How is it evil? You do know you can not like a change without that change being evil, right?
The internet permission was never accurate. Malicious apps had plenty of ways to get data off of the phone. The INTERNET permission was promising something that was not enforced. Something about it had to change, and seeing as connectivity is heavily assumed and ingrained into everything it makes sense to just nuke the false permission.
Practically speaking the main users that want INTERNET to be a permission and to revoke it are people that want to block ads. That's a moral grey area at best, so making that harder is far from "evil".

That's a moral grey area at best, so making that harder is far from "evil". I'm not sure where the grey area is here. I am not under any moral compulsion to make requests on a network just because an app developer wants me to. Building structures to force me to make those requests is definitely leaning into evil. In fact, it's the last straw for me, personally. I'm back to iOS and the "evil" walled garden that respects my rights as a network user.

- HSO 11y agoNot true. You can allow/disallow network access for each individual app, even system apps.
