Agreed. When FB Messenger asks for my location, or my contact list, I just click "don't ask again" and "deny". And I get to ignore all the furor over the new Messenger permissions my friends are freaking out about.
meanwhile Google Play Services made the Cyanogenmod privacy setting useless.
Any app can mask it’s access to your location, contacts, microphone etc. by using the Google Play Service instead.
It’s all or nothing again.
Try setting the Google Play Services access to “ask each time” and be surprised how many apps that don’t need your location, contacts.. try to spy on you.
