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.
>>27107287
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.
>>27107319
Watch the insults, 12 year old edgelord.

"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."

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.

Kill yourself reddit.
>>27107287
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.

Or a storage device.
literally who cares
>>27109166
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?
>>27107287
Stupid goyim. You should be worried about Google itself.
i dont use this email, i only use it for pokemon go and downloadint shit on the play store :^)
>be born american
>freedom bestowed upon me
>i get my own serial number and am now in system SINCE BIRTH
>grow up giving this serial number to various people for various services
>my activities ARE ON AND HAVE BEEN ON RECORD SINCE BIRTH
>get smart phone
>fuck yeah im gonna save all my stuff on here
>learn that THE BIG MAN is spying on my text messages to my mom and my pornographic email notices as well as my fap folder
>FUCK YOU BIG MAN GIVE ME MY PRIVACY
>I SO SO MAD BIG MAN
>Americans
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
>>27108113
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?
>>27109436
Let me guess, Europe? How does it enjoy having your continent being turned into the new capitol of the Islamic world?
>>27107287
>Pokemon Go Release.
>Not Pokémon GO
You got a hacked APK, OP. The real one doesn't have any access.
>>27108268
>Calling ascii face an emoji
Release all of your shinies and kill your charizard
>>27109519
Incorrect. I downloaded the app from the American appstore and it's name on Google is still Pokemon Go Release.
>>27107287
>trusting google with anything that you don't want other people seeing
>ever
>>27107287
Don't a lot of game apps request access to a good portion/all of your device?
>>27107287
>implying a company will care about my mails
>not having a empty Gmail account to sign in for every crap you download or every game that you know is gonna spam the hell out of you.
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.
