i guess i don't know how the security community operates. but these same folks i follow seem generally pretty hip to social issues, and so i sorta assume they know it's not good to directly boost someone who clearly needs a bit of help

this is a known thing. many antivirus and "security" tools basically take the approach of "well this code might be bad, so we're gonna load up our own custom VM-esque environment in order to step through it and figure out if it's actually bad". but then oh boy hmm suddenly the same attacks that work against the real system work against the fake sandbox one too????? uh oh

So colour me ignorant, but why wasn't that person just kicked out and everyone else could have just moved on?

because if you kick out the loud shitheads, the quiet shitheads come out of the woodwork and start bleating about "free speech" and "censorship". also the shitheads who get kicked out will whip up a mob online who will then go after all the con organizers and the venue

also it's professional suicide because the person who kicks them out becomes "that jerk who was unfair to the nerd i look up to"

if a permission is benign, why does the app even need to ask for it

if a permission is "usually malicious", apps should probably be banned from even asking for it

expecting normal users to janitor their app permissions is never going to not suck

google has gotten slightly better about this over the years but yes, they are still extremely bad about it. one example: apps are able to download updated files into a sandboxed area of the filesystem that belongs only to this app, but apps routinely lie to users that "oh we actually need full read/write access to you entire user data partition, it's totally required our app can't work without it" and i don't think i've ever heard of google yanking the apps from some chinese waifu game because the in-app permission explanation was kind of dishonest

i actually signed up for this dumb program at one point. i got a postcard addressed to "resident" at my house a few months ago from google saying "let us track what you watch on TV, earn hundreds of dollars!" and i said oh ok. i signed up for it and they sent me a big box of stuff. one thing in there was a little chrome/android type tablet thing that works like a nielsen meter, you turn it on and it listens for the audio fingerprints in tv shows. i thought oh ok, cool, so i set that up and turned it on when i watched tv. the other main thing in the box was a wireless router. i was like uh yeah not gonna install this piece of poo poo

apparently the router is the main thing they want you to install though, to get that sweet sweet analytics of everything that every device on your network is doing. i kept getting emails and calls (yes, actual phone calls) where they were offering to "assist" me setting up the router. i eventually emailed back saying that i couldn't install it because it wouldn't work with my network setup. i got a reply right away saying that i was no longer part of the program please send the equipment back lol

you actually can earn hundreds of dollars a year if you install the spyware router and all their spyware apps/browser plugins. i still got to keep the $25 they sent me when i signed up tho and i made google waste a bunch of money shipping equipment around

The second one isn't just a list of all the permissions that the app asks for based on its manifest file?

yeah, is it this?

one other wrinkle is the android API level. prior to android API 23 (i.e. Android 6.0) the user is given an all-or-nothing permission list upon installing an app. you either accept all the permissions the app says it might want to access, or you don't install the app. if you have a device that is API 23 or higher, and the app is also compiled with API 23 or higher, you aren't given this list upon app installation, and are instead asked (similar to iOS) when an app wants to use a "sensitive" permission
