This is yet another reason Android needs an "a la carte" permission system that encourages developers to use minimal permissions, and enables users to shut off intrusive permissions.

Apple has more latitude to impose policies because their app store is curated. Google needs to provide customers with the tools to achieve the same level of protection from apps that load up on permissions for no other reason than to feed dubious behavioral targeting mechanisms. This has been an issue for years, and an improvement in this situation is way overdue.
