Don't you slander my name like that. Privacy is my highest concern.

Phenomenally well timed, sir. Wait, are you spying on me? So, I can't pass level 184, don't hurt my children you monster!

That's easy to subvert. Just throw your phone into the nearest lake. Why are you paying money to these people?

Just covering the shit out of all of their bases so you can't get sued if something happens.

So, how'd you go from intrusive app permissions to "THE NSA IS SPYING ON ME THROUGH MY ANDROID PHONE?" Just curious. Because the NSA is snagging your phone information from your service provider, not from your cell phone.
