I really hope the furor over this causes Apple to require permission to access the address book. I understand Apple is trying to keep things simple, but this is, IMO, as important as location information.
- eps 15y agoThis is arguably far more important than the location info.
- loceng 15y agoYup - you could likely link all kinds of demographic information based on who someone knows - including their likely location or locations.
- eropple 15y agoAsking for permission to access the address book won't help, though. People will just go right on through--it's a social network, of course it needs your contacts, so on and so forth. The intractable problem is there's no way to verify what's being done with that data once it's accessed.

- moreorless 15y agoI hope the furor over this causes other companies to pay more attention their users' data and privacy. More importantly, to treat their users as people instead of end products.
