It\u2019s also a likely reasonable assumption that Google will release a similar privacy functionality update as paste notifications soon. This is the evolution of granular app permissions and app-permission-use notifications that are finally sweeping the smartphone world as users wake up to the fact that apps often have and use way more permissions than they need if allowed to at time of install. It seems more general users are finally garnering the outrage over privacy violations on the phone.<\/p>\n<h2>Smartphone users are finally waking up to the potential privacy violations from installed mobile apps<\/h2>\n<p>Another example \u2013 which abused access to GPS location instead of the clipboard \u2013 is the Tim Hortons app. Now, Tim Hortons is facing a class action lawsuit on top of an investigation by privacy commissioners in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>On Linkedin\u2019s part, they have responded to Don Cubed and stated that they will be making a fix for this behavior. A spokesperson for Linkedin told Cubed that the copy and pasted information from users\u2019 clipboard is only used for an \u201cequality check,\u201d implying that it isn\u2019t stored and analyzed for other nefarious purposes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hi <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/doncubed?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DonCubed<\/a>.
