Facebook denies it collects call and SMS data from phones without permission
I partially blame the Android permissions system. They are so generic you have no idea what you are giving permissions to. Permission in this case: "Allow INSERT APP NAME HERE to access your contacts?"<p>Access what? Read access? Write access? Get all of their name and contact fields? Send them text messages? Call them? Spam?<p>If I don't give them the access, what happens next? Can I not use the app? Will the app break? Will the app just ignore it?<p>There's no information. If you google it for more information you will have to dig for it in some obscure google groups forum, and then yet it's not really clear. Because when you google for Android App Permissions you get results meant for Android Developers, and not normal human beings (jk about the normal human beings part).
