I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores

It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.

To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?

Defed the Thread.

So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.

Twitter has the same amount of required permissions tho. Of course it collects a lot more data than any fediverse application or site but for proprietary software its about average

Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook

It literally says Instagram. Is this post an inside joke?

[–] whatsarefoogee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The developer is Instagram Inc.

The actual app is not Instagram, it's the new facebook spyware app that I don't know the name of.
