Really? I would hope the users at HN would be more inclined to understand the needs of those permissions rather than fear mongering. You know the features of Home and you should know that to accomplish those features, it needs those permissions. Remember that Home is more of a shell app and the majority of its abilities come from the Facebook app. The app shouldn't really be accessing that information if Home isn't installed, but they are necessary for Home to run.

- tsycho 14y agoBut isn't that an "interesting" choice? They could have just kept the extra permissions tied to the Home app. The current way, even non-Home users are giving a lot more unnecessary permissions to the FB app. And FB isn't the most trustworthy company to give unnecessary extra permissions.
