I'm really starting to worry about this as an Android user.
If I want to keep control of my privacy there are so many apps that I can't trust to install. Even little dinky games are asking for access to contacts and messages and all sorts of other things.
An application on a desktop computer that steals data from your email application and sends it back to base is called "Malware". On Android, this is called "business as usual" from what I can tell. I don't know the app developers' reputation, I don't know anything... Except that someone in some other country has unbridled access to my phone.
As a result there are many applications I want to use and I just don't install.
It's not very cool.
- Freak_NL 11y agoNot sure why you are getting downvoted for voicing a valid concern.
- ryan-allen 11y agoProbably due to the lack of scientific rigor that I failed to produce in all of 3 seconds, or, just general BS of an online community. Or shills, who knows! Nobody said this was a community of rational beings.
