Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      An underreported detail from these “I got my Facebook data” stories: combining Facebook with the (non)-privacy-protections of Android is like setting wild dogs loose on a buffet.

      Any suggestions for a fix? Every user has to approve the permissions the Facebook app asks for before it does this; I can't immediately think of a way to prevent this without severely limiting functionality of useful applications.

      Time based expiry of approval for certain permissions perhaps?

      That would annoy users while training them to tap "approve" on every popup.

      What if applications could request a temporary permission (like app X wants to verify your phone number but it doesn't need SMS read permissions permanently) ?

      Replying to @dbph @shawnwillden and

      There are assorted ways for apps to request data from the user on a case-by-case basis without needing permissions. For example picking a contact, picking a file from shared storage or other storage providers, taking a picture, etc. don't require any permissions when doing that.

      Replying to @CopperheadOS @dbph and

      Having those options available doesn't mean that apps actually make use of it and users get conditioned to think that permissions are required for things that really don't need them like loading / storing files in storage shared between apps instead of the usual internal storage.

      Replying to @CopperheadOS @dbph and

      They moved away from the Storage permission group for external drives and app storage providers. There should really be more migration away from those kinds of bulk access permissions instead of providing data on a case-by-case basis.

      Replying to @CopperheadOS @dbph and

      Android already provides the necessary APIs in many cases with the issue being very low adoption of doing things sanely in apps. Way easier to open up the camera app activity to have the user take a picture than doing it internally with the permission yet apps do the latter.

      You could also — and I know this isn’t a “fix”, but call me crazy for thinking it might be a good idea — take a look at the data being collected by your top-100-most installed apps and stop selling them if they do obviously abusive data collection.

      You don't even have to stop selling them. Just push OS updates that block the specific functionality the app is using to the specific apps that are abusing it.

          Existing Android versions don't have this capability, but future ones should allow Play Store to push app-specific permission/functionality blocks with override in Settings for advanced users.
