Re: Yup.. rubbish permissions handling in Android
"MS specifically state that the location given is anonimised, but I am not sure how that makes sense if the app knows who you are."
It makes perfect sense, when you consider that MS is simply saying "It's anonymised" as placatory buzzword blurb intended only to allay your privacy concerns and get you to buy the product - or BE the product, as the case may be.
"Anonymised" doesn't actually mean anything to these people, to them it's just another meaningless buzzword that they've figured out that consumers like to hear, along with expressions like "scientifically proven" and "as seen on TV."
