@Tarnport I think that will go into my follow-up post, "Oh, HELL no."
I don't know if this is universal but I cannot use my camera, on my phone, unless I allow every app on my phone to be able to access my camera.
So I don't use my camera
@DoNotPunchDown @Tarnport Eek! Definitely not universal, though. I doubt that every Android phone works that way, but I know for sure iPhones do not.
That's good to know. I have a Google pixel. I need to get an iPhone. There is so much tracking and crap on everything now but at least with an iphone, i could use the camera.
Thank you

My pixel 7 is not like that at all, fwiw
@RnDanger @maxleibman @Tarnport
I have a pixel 3. I'm glad yours doesn't do that
@DoNotPunchDown @RnDanger @maxleibman @Tarnport
Recent versions of Android have a much more fine grained permission control.
They even disable some permissions if you haven't used an app for a while.

We are SO screwed! And we have ourselves to blame in part.
