I thought the whole selling point of Android is that it is not tightly controlled.
- fpgeek 15y agoNo, the selling point is that the user is in control (or at least gets more control than on other platforms). Clear and visible permissions are a part of that.
- rbarooah 15y agoAccepting your framing of the selling point, the OP clearly shows that it is not being delivered on.
- rbarooah 15y agoTo follow up - the OP shows that the permissions are far from clear and visible. Would people reasonably expect that the contents of their SD card and a list of all their purchases could be silently uploaded by an app they'd given no permissions to? If not, this is clearly not delivering control to the user.
