They've decided yet another service from Zuck is a good idea. We're not dealing with geniuses here

I'm not entirely sure if that's the case.

Nevertheless, it would be great if people had better tools to assess whether the "trades" they make with tech giants are as innocent as they think. This requires, for example, a better understanding of the data they are giving away. I think the list of permissions shown on the app store for the legitimate app can be quite abstract for many people. Makes it too too easy to overlook the potential consequences and quickly click download - or accept, like many do with cookies.
