One of many reasons I find it amazing that applications ask for permission to the microphone when they don&#x27;t have a good reason.<p>The latest Netflix update on Android asks for microphone permissions, saying that in the future they&#x27;ll offer a way to call Netflix support from within the app.  <i>No</i>, that&#x27;s not a good reason; I have a phone for that.  I&#x27;ve specifically avoided that upgrade; I&#x27;m hoping that my Nexus gets the upgrade to M before then, so that I can upgrade Netflix but deny it access to the microphone.
