    As long as you are aware of what is being shared then you have an informed choice to make.

      Yes, this is the reason Meta keeps fighting Apple and Google when the app stores add marginal transparency.

      I wonder how many people will even consider the possibility that they need to check those permissions carefully lest the social media app collect health data?

        I think the culture/training of not even reading terms and conditions leads to people not checking what they give away to apps and software.

        I agree that it is almost impossible these days to trust big corporations. Google and Meta are at the top my no trust list.
