Vine for Android

Yet another app that can access all your contacts and potentially steal/spam your adressbook. I know this is standard practice on iOS, but it really isn't acceptable.

I don't think many apps are really in the business of being evil.

I don't really understand this unfounded paranoia that apps are designed by evil people to do evil things.

That's not entirely the point. Most of the news we've seen here during the past years are about people breaking into these apps' (sometimes improperly secured) servers and then suddenly having access to all this private data about millions of users.
