Yikes.
It's a perfectly named app. They're pulling on the thread of privacy protection until it's all undone.

Nope the fuck out of there
To play devils advocate, is it possible these permissions are just placeholders until the app is actually released?

Is the app out already? Or is this just the App Privacy dashboard for Instagram??
I'm also confused what I'm looking at.
Is this real, or a meme? What is "sensitive info"?

Thanks but no thanks
Twitter has the same amount of required permissions tho. Of course it collects a lot more data than any fediverse application or site but for proprietary software its about average

Holy shit! That’s terrifying, especially from a company like Facebook
So, all that isn't even enough, "other info" is needed too? This honestly will just get every single thing they can get of ya.
So just everything then.
