I like the though of enforcing regulations on certain permissions such as location, network info, contacts, etc so apps can't just data mine it. I'd also like laws to make these apps function with certain access restricted by the user. My car app for example pops up with permission requests saying it can't function without getting location data in the background. I just want to remote start my damn car.
