I cant believe apps tracking user data this much can even be allowed on app stores
Nope the fuck out of there

It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.
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.
Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook
To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?
Thanks but no thanks
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
So just everything then.
