Re: How is it possible that an app

"Unless users clicked a "grant permission" button, in which case why do they blame the app?"

These permissions are bundled together and "essential" for the app to work at all.

Users are conditioned to allow it all, or they won't be able to use the apps.

There used to be a relationship of trust between users and software companies. This is now down the drain, thanks to Google, Facebook and the like. Lawmakers still seem extremely behind the curve, decades after the IT revolution took off.
