This is the one I agree most with so I'll add mine here:
- network connectivity as a separate permission (no reason every app should be allowed network access)
- also, permissions systems everywhere need to get updated for this millennium. Some thoughts:
-- to read my photos is OK as long as they don't have direct network access.
-- but today every app has Internet access by default
-- and just because I trust an app to read my photos doesn't mean I should have to give it permission to delete photos
- cmroanirgo 7y agoI'd go as far as requiring a statement of intent (soi) from developers requesting network access, describing the frequency and payload content and size. If the code doesn't match the soi then the app is crippled.
- fouc 7y agoI would like finer grained control on photo permissions. Particularly I don't necessarily want to grant it access to ALL of my photos. And in general, I would prefer most apps actually don't have any access to photos, the photo picker could be completely OS level and the app never actually has access.
