> Seatbelts don't need to be worn by good drivers, because they won't get into accidents! All humans are fallible, but it may be out of your control. There is no other human between you and your device. > Yes. Because some apps do more than they claim to do, and users are unaware, and thinking that all citizens can be perfectly informed and thus do not need to put guardrails on app permissions is foolish. Why do you even have to trust what apps say? That's my problem with this reasoning, we are under the assumption that programs control your device and that nothing can be done about it except adding warnings. Why do programs need instructions to access data? How about forcing the user to plug any environment access into the app? Anything that isn't plugged cannot be accessed, no trust required. > The lack of control over the data that can be extracted by bad actors that seem like good actors. The solution is to give control over the data, not with protection, but understanding. You are transforming this tech problem into a human problem. > The real cause is that humans can be malicious, others can be fooled, and the first goes after the second. Again no human between you and your device/program. We however decided that software can be malicious.
