I always check whatever permissions are requested by every application I install on the device, that's why I sometimes have to uninstall some because it really doesn't make sense to give them permissions including accessing contacts, media, camera and so on. So far I haven't installed many applications other than what I need, in fact some of them I rarely use.
I know that, but Tranthidung thought I was a tech guy because I have some tech-related threads. That was just a compliment and nothing else.
Probably, you are in the 10% of people who check what permission their apps are asking for before they install an app on their device. But believe me, the rest of the 90% of people do not even care about what permission their apps are asking.
The government blocked all social media during the protest in Bangladesh. People started installing free VPNs on their mobile devices, and I don't think anyone checked what permission those apps were asking for, which they granted. Free VPNs are not Free. They collect information from their user's devices, which they sell later.
