The idea that any third party app could (a) record my screen 24/7 in the background or (b) have full access to all of the data on my phone would be beyond unacceptable.
Everyone rightly criticised Microsoft for providing such a capability and they would do the same with Apple as well.
EU would be insane to push Apple on this.

- ginko 2y agoSo don't give permission? (or don't install the app in the first place) I thought this was about malicious apps that collected private data behind your back.
- alt227 2y ago> I thought this was about malicious apps that collected private data behind your back No, where did you get that idea from?
- threeseed 2y agoThis comment would have made sense in the late 90s. Today we have decades of experience that the majority of users are not capable of making informed decisions when it comes to topics like app permissions. Especially the flow on implications e.g. allow the app to record the screen could mean your bank details are exposed.
