    I mean, it lets you post pictures and videos you take with your phone. That’s like the least concerning thing about it.

    Sounds like the OP is reading “takes” as in to steal, whereas it most likely just means being able to take a picture or video from within the app lmao.

    you have a problem with “taking videos” (you’ll notice if it does that in the background - your phone will get quite hot) but not with “recording audio” and pretty much any location data available?

    somewhat strange perspective

    Instagram has this same permission. LinkedIn, Facebook, the Google Gboard does this.

    Gotta look at the trackers or the Exodus / Pithus reports. Social media apps just seem to turn on every possible permission anyway.
