I went to update angry birds the other day and noticed it had been kicked over to Manual updates because the permissions have changed.
Why does angry birds want permissions to Phone logs/calls/phone serial number, and to have access to my known accounts and full app list? Also full network acess and wifi logs as well as location logs?
Some of that i could see being legit if they are moving to a in game purchase system that requires the play store but things like phone logs and known accounts and apps list cant really be viewed any other way than they are trying to datamine your phone. And with full network/wifi access can call home whenever it wants.
I have since deleted all Angry birds apps, im just surprised they would try something like this and think people wouldnt notice.
