RE: Hundreds of Applications Are Listening for Marketing Beacons You Can’t Hear
Jesus Christ!
Virtually every app I looked at allows it to turn the camera & microphone on, triangulate location thru GPS, and on and on. Shit, it permits the phone to be completely controlled. Even the fucking Aldi app! I have an older Android Phone that doesn't appear to let me alter the permissions though.
I'm going to have to see if I can find a way.
Just one reason I don't have a smartphone and instead have a piece of crap Nokia from yesteryear :-)
That probably has an 8 day battery life and would get 6 bars of signal strength in a nuclear bunker. ;-)
hehe, exactly :-)
