>Also the OS (and “privileged apps”) don’t ask for permission, they have full unfettered access to everything already. If you can't trust the OS, you have bigger issues than it knowing whether you're 18 or not. At the very least it has a camera pointed at you at all moments you're using it, and can eavesdrop in all your conversations.
