Who would want a porn app that has more permissions to track everything you do?
This is this weirdest one for me
Apps have worse ability to track you than a browser, not better.
The only extra information they get about you is a consistent but unique (as in not possible to correlate) identifier, meaning they know its the same device accessing the app that it was the other day as well. But they often know this from IP on the web anyway, and since it can't be correlated, it doesn't tell them much.
