(05 Sep 2014, 11:17 pm)Dan Has anyone seen that video of the bloke suggesting how dangerous the Facebook Messenger app is?
It's been on my news feed for about a week now, and it came up in discussion in the Common Room today too. I couldn't stress enough that it's down to the generic messages laid out by Android, and that the app requires those permissions so that you can access features within the app.
The lads all seemed to agree with me, but I can't say the same about the girls. Really annoyed me that they truly thought that the app would take photos of them whilst they were unaware and all this malarkey...
It seems Facebook pushed a notification through to me earlier and have thankfully made an announcement.

Negative being turned into a positive!
But the same people are more than happy to send SMS or email no doubt, which are in fact worse, as both mediums have zero encryption. The latter not even requiring authentication.
