Android and the false promises of openness
“Now it’s back from nowhere and even thought I never agreed anything, this app has the permission to collect data about: My location (fine GPS location) My personnal information (read/write contact data) My Internet communication (full Internet access) My accounts (and even act as an account authenticator and manage my accounts list) My phone calls And of course it has the permission to modify/delete SD card contents, prevent phone from sleeping, write sync settings, control the vibrator, etc… And all this shit even if 1) you never agreed to any of these and 2) you are not a facebook user."
