Facebook scraped call, text message data for years from Android phones
Android's permissions system for stuff like that is indefensible. Anything with severe privacy implications like "years of text message history" should explicitly opt-in with a permission request popup at runtime like iOS has done for features like camera since launch.Of all the things to not copy from iOS, of course privacy is the one that they decide to skimp out on. I'm glad they've started to catch up, but they have a ways to go yet.
