One of the best features of iOS currently is the reminder when an app has been tracking your location, asking if to continue allowing. Hope Cook trashed that “letter” and Apple will continue putting users first.

Using a phone is not an excuse to steal your data and etiquette for developers should really be a priority, and violations should be punishable by law, especially when users are misled and data has been used without explicit permission.

Even so it should be illegal if the data accessed was not needed for the declared purpose of the app.

UPDATED: spelling mistakes.


Hint: it's not actually "developers" per se, rather CEOs of data-siphoning companies.
