I'm surprised at the EFF. this post seems intended to save face for them rather than anything else.
They had a post recently lauding App Ops although it was never officially released, announced nor documented. And it certainly was not accessible to the average user.
Also it was obviously not compatible with most apps, as they didn’t fail too gracefully.
Again: App Ops Was Never Meant For End Users, Used For Internal Testing And Debugging Only

I do hope Google is working on something similar on an OS level for future releases, but this hack job by the EFF is disappointing and unnecessary.
- biehl 13y agoBecause using "beta" features from Google is unthinkable? I think it makes perfect sense to laud even small steps in the right direction (beta-quality features etc.) and comment negatively on steps in the wrong direction (removing privacy options for users).
- uniray 13y agoIt was not even a beta feature, it was not exposed to end users at all.
