If the general public was just aware of how much privacy they lose by downloading these apps, companies like Meta would never be able to get away with stuff like this.

Why does Zuck want to know the browser histories of people on the internet? 😳

Why would he need to know Health & Fitness?? Anything related to Facebook/Meta is pure trash.

Well if you download a Facebook owned app you should expect this.

I feel like they just went down the list of permissions and said yes to everything, they probally actually log it all too, disgusting

Meta rolling into the fediverse like the martians in Mars Attacks.

Quite literally. What would "Other Data" even be, your inner thoughts?

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It's gratifying seeing this because usually when I see these kinds of worrying data permissions it's because a service I really want or need is being held hostage until I agree to this false choice and I have to start figuring out whether there's some way around this or if I'm going to have to embarrassingly explain to someone why I can't use this service they expected me to sign up to.

But then I see this and it's for something I'd never want to sign up to anyway and it's just like a list of dodged bullets. 😎 So nice to just laugh at their bullshit.
