Don't Download Apps

So you mean if I give an app permission to do something it has permissions to do that thing? How is that a security issue to be worried about?

And iOS doesn’t allow third party apps to intercept SMS messages.

It's rare for me to see this sarcastic attitude in replies on Hacker News. It's common on Reddit, but not here.

I mean it wasn’t a great argument that apps can do stuff after you give it permission to do stuff.
