Yesterday I installed an app called Tune In Radio on my phone. Before the app installed, this message pops up: "Tuned In Radio wants access to your contact list. Confirm or deny." Of course I clicked deny; the app still installed and works just fine. Naturally, the inference is that the info would help create a better experience -but for whom? People give up their info so easily that it’s gotten like taking candy from a baby. No free app is really free; at the very least you are going to be fed a steady stream of advertising, as is the case with this app. Not that it’s an issue; I listen to the app, not look at it. In some cases the info you give up allows ads to be tailored to your interests, but there is no reason to share all the contacts in your phone with someone wanting to use them to their own advantage. I’m sure my friends would love me more for giving out their contact info -not!
