Another fantastic reason to strictly only install apps from F-Droid.

How does that address the problem? Does F-Droid do some sort of additional screening to keep out apps that do this?

First, f-droid only accepts OSS apps, so the incentives for spyware is simply not there. Second, anti-features are explicitly marked on f-droid. Third, f-droid apps are curated like a very rigorous linux repo.

Being an OSS app is not sufficient protection. Most OSS apps aren't terribly misbehaved, but some are. Being OSS in and of itself is not anything like a guarantee with this sort of thing.

Yes, I know. My question is is this one of the things they're screening for?
