Well, I must confess I am of different opinion.
I, for one, check applications permissions (on BB10) and deny access to my personal info to almost all apps downloaded from a store.
I don't upload my intimate photos to clouds and store on home computers only.
A question for those who don't value privacy as high as I am.
Do you agree that it was unfair for BalloonPop2 game developers who put their efforts to build a game for the price of personal info (in the form of whatsapp chats) to be removed from the app store? Are google employees have more privileges or what?
I don't understand why android OS offers app permissions to the user.
If one shared personal info with google, facebook, etc. then it should be safe to give it to next processor, right?
If you look at the market place today, you'll find that many companies are working hard to develop a 'secure' solution in one form or another. Likely I will be a victim of their products and kudos to those who don't care.
