[liberationtech] Recent iOS privacy checks

[Cody Tarrant]

Dear all,

As a newcomer to iOS, I was pleasantly surprised to see such a
fine-grained check, to see if the user will allow sharing location.

Looking further, I came across an excellent blog post discussing all
these permissions in iOS8 here:

This should put to rest any doubt, that users would not want to wield
fairly fine-grained control over their privacy, and that such control
cannot be provided without great difficulty to the user.
