Yep, this is one of the major reasons I refuse to use Android anymore. If it's what you like hey go for it, no problem for me- but too few people consider the full scope of what allowing permissions to apps brings. Not to mention the built in data mining Google does by default. Yes, Android has gotten better at their permissions model, but only slightly.

- antocv 10y agoInstall cyanogenmod, do not install any google apps or "pay services", use f-droid. Use webapps, a browser to sandbox better websites. Phone is marvelous now.
- EuAndreh 10y agoOf course, we know iOS has way less data mining, since Apple is more transparent in this regard and we can all read iOS source code... Oh, wait...
