No, it does not. Dangerous permission can be toggled off for all apps now. For apps on the new API level, they can no longer obtain dangerous permissions at install time. They have to trigger an OS-level prompt for the permission. They're supposed to explain why they need it before triggering the OS prompt and many apps did it poorly by adding an extra, meaningless prompt before the real one. This was't done for the old API level because it would cause crashes for permissions where data can't feasibly be faked and the user would have no indication that fake/empty data was being used if it was the default.
