Uh-oh. Boffins say most Android apps can slurp your screen – and you wouldn't even know it

Very misleading

Apps may read the "view" that they themselves present. In other words, an app may spy on itself. That's how an application sandbox works folks. How very uninteresting. Carefully wording it to make it sound like an app may generally screen grab is (intentionally?) misleading. But I guess FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) drives clicks.
