I'm updating some apps on my phone and get a message that Google Pay needs access to my contacts as part of the upgrade.
Why?
I mean, no shit, WHY!?! At no point in any financial transaction between me and whomever should whom I know be a factor.
I'm getting very sick of "this app needs access to..." without any explanation of why it needs that access.
I know that privacy is effectively dead... and it's shit like this what killed it.
Unless they tell you what they're using the access for, you can't make an informed decision about allowing them access. My default is, "No!"
One gets the feeling that they don't want to define what they're doing with the access, so when they're caught being deeper into it than promised they can't be held to any sort of liability standard.
