Quora is requesting permission to:
View basic information about your account
View your email address
Manage your contacts
Given that, you shouldn't be at all surprised that Quora was able to figure out your phone contacts.
- chmike 14y agoI agree but this means that I can't register in quora with my googleId without giving Quora all my emails. Since I don't use facebook and twitter what options are left ? I do want to use googleId authentication to access Quora but why would that imply I have to give all my emails to Quora ? Why can't I decide about that ? Why is Google imposing that to me ? Is this a commercial deal between Google and Quora ?
- fpgeek 14y agoGoogle isn't imposing anything, AFAIK. The permissions exist because there are reasonable applications that might want them (e.g. contact sync). Quora is deciding what permissions to ask for. They could ask for more or less (other sites/services do), but they don't.
