My concern would be that throwing internet connection under a consent flag may stop some shady apps, but the rest will just invent a bogus reason for why they need to connect: "We need to connect to the internet to check for updates!" How many Android apps have requested access to your Contacts, and waived the harvesting concerns away by saying it only needs to see your Contacts so that it can more easily pair you with your friends? Nevermind that they're also uploading the entire contact list to their servers... Without an easy way to know who the package is connecting to, it only instills a false sense of security. |
