This means that Niantic can:
>Read all your email

>Send email as you

>Access all your Google drive documents (including deleting them)

>Look at your search history and your Maps navigation history

>Access any private photos you may store in Google Photos

You can still just use a burner google account, but it's still lame that they don't even ask, they just take full permissions without even letting you know.

Niantic IS Google you fucking idiot.

My mail is full of spam anyway, maybe they can give it an use.

>>27107287
Niantic is a Google Company

>>27107319
No it's not, it's an "independent entity" as of 2015.

"Niantic, Inc. is a software development company best known for developing the augmented reality mobile games Ingress[1][2] and Pokémon Go. It was formed by Keyhole, Inc. founder John Hanke in 2010 as Niantic Labs, an internal startup at Google.[2] It spun out of Google as an independent entity in October 2015, soon after Google's announcement of its restructuring as Alphabet Inc."

c:

though, you people need to realize that the access is determined by your prompts - not through remote control. The only thing the app is doing is opening your emails LOCALLY. That's all it's asking for.

That's okay, the only thing on the email account I gave them are a bunch of invitations to bisexual sex parties.

While that may be true, it's still shady. They don't need full account access.

>>27107287
I noticed this on Day One (technically two, but the point stands).
>>
>>27107517
What is c: and how is that related to reddit?

Doesn Android M and N have privacy control to stop this?
My oxygen os phone has privacy guard that restricts apps from accessing anything I dont want
>>
This is only happening on iOS, so honestly is it even really a big deal?

Applefags deserve to have their info stolen.

People who actually have things to lose will care. Don't worry little guy, this doesn't concern you :)

>>27107287
My google account is a basically a spam account, and i don't store shit on it, or have it connected to any other emails. i'm in good shape.
>>
>>27109219
Cool, have fun losing your shit
>>
>>27107287
Niantic isnt going to send emails as you or delete your drive files
>>
>>27107502
And why exactly does it need to open my emails?

It's great because either of the two idiots taking up your presidency next term are both going to fuck you. I hope you all die

You realize that your info is being stolen by Google or Apple depending on the device you use regardless of whether or not you are even playing Pokémon GO?

Let me guess, Europe? How does it enjoy having your continent being turned into the new capitol of the Islamic world?

You got a hacked APK, OP. The real one doesn't have any access.

Incorrect. I downloaded the app from the American appstore and it's name on Google is still Pokemon Go Release.

Don't a lot of game apps request access to a good portion/all of your device?

Damn it, it's not that hard.
>>
>>27109967
I can second this.

Maybe the "Release" part means that once they get things sorted out they will not be as strict. I doubt it, but it's possible.
>>
>>27110220
No, it means "Pokemon Go Release" your information to the highest bidder
>>
>Google company has access to my Google information
Gee that sure is fucking surprising.
