An app that could be a website and wants a huge intrusive set of permissions? So just like every corporate social media thing ever.
"Version 47.0.0"? LOL
Producing a working-enough vibe coded app takes many iterations.
I'm sorry, but it controls vibration??? Does it make your phone into a sex toy!?
It was a feature specifically requested by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski for their government airplane sexy times. And the developer forgot to remove it.
Legitimate criticism aside, I found it funny they underlined "receive data from internet" among the other scary permissions.
That's the one thing a news app presumably should be doing
NOPE

Why do they pretend they didn't create mass surveillance and data collection.
