It is just that I expect applications to behave well. I am not a fan of mobile OS because they have a bad security model in my opinion. It sets wrong incentives with trying to mitigate badly behaving apps. That other forms of software environments are possible is empirically proved but another topic.
If an app does everything it "legally" could, it would have become malware long before. The principle of that argument is quite similar to that of poor mobile ecosystems we sadly are subjected to. Of course other factors were as important to create these "security" models.
I also think that this plainly isn't or wasn't legal in any jurisdiction because Twitter lacked informed consent if this particular case ever got in front of a judge.
That Twitter isn't the only guilty party is true, like we know from the article.
ok, get the point of being enraged by the one thing while ignoring the same other 4 things that are above board and do the same thing
