Thing 4 - Digital Security

-
Now this chapter wasn't as revealing for me, as I already check my assigned permissions quite precisely. I only give permissions that I find useful for using a certain app. For my petrol prices app for example, I give access to my current location in order to look up the prices of the nearest gas station whenever I need to refuel. Then again I don't see the point of giving Amazon the permission of my camera. As I already said, I always keep track of the permissions I give, therefore this chapter rather worked as a little reminder for me.

It surely isn't easy to take every little adaptation into account, but still I think that we live in such an advanced age that no-one should even have to worry about those obstacles. @23ThingsEdUni
