I've got a new phone and I wanted a photo of some aged wood panels for my background on the app/home screen whatever it's called. Every app or site that I've found that has a pic I want to save asks me, when I try it to save the pic, if it's ok if I'll allow them access to my photos.

Now this sounds innocent enough and it's the only way to be able to save these pictures. However a bit of research has revealed that what it means is that whoever owns the app or site has the legal right to look at any photos I have saved on my phone and share them with whoever the **** they feel like.

Now I've recently had a baby daughter (well my wife has) and I've got a load of photos of her on my phone, in several of them she's in the nude in the bath etc and it turns my stomach to think that if I'd clicked on 'yes' to 'allow this app access to photos' then strangers all across the world who run the apps/sites can access these photos and save them and share them as if they were their own.

What the ****. I hope I'm not the only one who knows about it.

The New World Order.
Sucks. Most people don't even pay attention. Privacy is a thing of the past.

It's horrible. It seems like half of the stuff I do on my phone involves fending off corporate twats wanting to know what I'm doing and where I'm doing it. Damned if I'm going to allow anyone other than myself access to my private photos.

No your not its frightening - people put pics of the kids/grandkids on these social media sites and also allow access on their phones. Always remember those photos may be held in "the cloud" which in effect means they are held on a machine elsewhere - and remember some of these countries don't even have data protection laws.

I get that they do it for advertising purposes, which is repulsive enough in itself, but *****s are drawn to certain jobs and you can imagine how happy they'd be to land a job at a place where they had the legal right to browse through random people's private photos. Whole thing is ****ed up.
 
Arsenal. Have a shot for gods sake you bunch of foppish dandies. Nobody is impressed with you trying to play 67 passes in front of goal.
