MODERATORS
After the incident they did made some change to only ask permission for the appropriate function and can allow "while in use", and gotten rid of location permission altogether, but that incident kinda open my eye on cybersecurity and privacy, because if bank can hire subpar dev for such an important app, then all those gadget with IoT will not have top-notched dev doing their app. I'd rather be a luddite than lose anything important.
