Re:AltStore: An alternative app store for non-jailbroken iOS... by djeiasbsbo on Monday November 09, 2020 @10:02AM (#25035460)
The permission system on Android is still severely broken.

Any app can access the clipboard at any time. There are many permissions that are not controllable by an end user. A combination of gyroscope and microphone data can be used to "keylog" everything one is typing.

Any app also has access to a lot of information that is not covered by the permission system, such as Android ID, IMEI, SSID, etc.
