I'm pretty sure there are a lot of apps that have similar behavior. I know at one time Twitter and Facebook did something similar.

Does Facebook still do that? Do you remember where you read that it did at one time?

I had Facebook installed while investigating for this article, and could not identify a similar behavior.

Google, on the other hand, did the exact same thing, but I remember explicitly agreeing to that.

valverde, my startup www.frequento.com.br/parceiros works on a related topic, would love to talk to you about it.

I just added you on LinkedIn (Rodrigo Pontes), or email me.
