Just because they can, doesn't mean they should.
I'm fairly accepting that every android app asks for "permission to read ..." permissions, but I don't want them to be so proud of this that they present their information back to me.
That's what is so creepy about Facebook, they've lost sense of what is normal, so they don't hesitate to show off how much they know.
I'm sure Google knows a lot more about me, but they have the sense not to parade that fact back to me unless I specifically ask.
- kamjam 11y agoI don't know why people install the Facebook app on their phone. You can't view stuff offline, meaning you might as well just go to m.facebook.com, the browsing experience is pretty similar AND you don't need to install that stupid messenger app AND they can't access stuff on your phone. They shouldn't, but the pessimist in me says they will. Same with LinkedIn, who installs this crap? And why? Of course, there's plenty of other crap on my phone that I've installed and is exposing me...
- shanemhansen 11y agoAfter Facebook announced frictionless sharing I removed their app and only log in via mobile browser in a private tab. For me Facebook is a necessary evil. I'm not willing to miss the family trips that only get planned there so I just attempt to minimize damage.
- kamjam 11y agoI get that, and I'm exactly the same. I'm not saying I don't need facebook, it's very useful for keeping up with people from around the world. I just need instant notifications (like you) :p
