Which is still silly, because a malicious app will just come up with an innocuous reason why they need them.<p>Oh, and one of the most invasive, the &quot;Phone state&quot;, which includes unique IDs and called&#x2F;calling numbers, is required by nearly everyone under the guise of &quot;Needed to pause when phone call comes in&quot;. Which is either completely moronic (what, Android couldn&#x27;t have a &quot;getIsUserInCall&quot; function) or just shows how busted it is.
