Notch has a bad habit of getting caught up in drama and making loud but seemingly stupid statements about a situation before all of the information is out there.
Every time a company updates their app permissions, we get this kind of permission-hysteria.
THEY WANT TO DOWNLOAD ALL OF MY PHOTOS!!!
Well, actually, they want you to be able to set a photo as the cover of a playlist, and there is no difference between "Allow user to upload 1 photo" and "Have access to all of users photo" in terms of mobile permissions.\
THEY WANT ACCESS TO MY GPS!!
Well, actually, they're rolling out a Run feature already implemented on iOS, and, as always, you can disable GPS or customize its functionality on both platforms pretty deeply.
Every permissions update we get these histrionics. Notch should have the foresight to step back and listen before jumping in with a million followers.
