Do one thing well is not the only valid model. For instance why would you want apps on your phone? It should facilitate phone calls and messaging.

- enumjorge 6y agoI don’t think more features is the issue. It’s adding them at the cost of your personal data, especially when you need to pay the cost even when you don’t use those features.
- strulovich 6y agoIt’s unclear that these data is collected if you don’t use these features. Same as an app may need disclose it can use you mic, but it only does it if you use specific features. (The model for such permissions used to be before installation on Android and improved over time, and perhaps something similar can be done for data collection permissions as well) Right now, more features, whether you use them or not, will have their data collection appear on this screen, without context. So while these labels are a welcome addition, they can also be scarier than reality.
