Everyone and the Government Are Watching

When you download a new app on your phone and open it for the first time, you will be prompted with a message saying what permissions it needs to run on your phone. This permissions can run from accessing the internet to accessing your contact and from making calls to using the microphone and/or camera while the app is active. Not many people actually read what this says, they just select accept and carry on with their business, but the app developer can be recording or even looking at you when you are using the app and you do not even know! The problem with that is if you notice the app wanting to have an odd permission, if you decline the app permission, it will not work instead of just not using the permission. If it is an important app that you need, then you have no control over it because you need to have it and cannot stop it from having those permissions which allows developers to gain and sell information.
