> (Though to avoid permission fatigue for the average user, perhaps make it something only users that care can deny) Yeah, I would not want to have to approve every app. What I would like is a machine readable description of the app's capabilities to include Internet access, just as is required for access to the microphone or photos. This would encourage app developers to advertise to users that they don't need such capability and encourage users to realize that privacy and Internet access are mutually exclusive. There are many small apps I simply will not buy/install (e.g., apps for editing photos or contacts or calendars) because they cannot be trusted. Even if you trust the developer, the developers are often embedding third party analytics libraries that cannot be trusted.
