In the Information Age, nothing is more precious than the assumed privacy you have in your own home…except governments and big tech disagree. They want to listen to you ALL THE TIME.
BeGoneCIA is a tweak that can disable your location service, camera, microphone access, and more. This is super useful for random apps on the App Store that literally DONT need that information. It even has a CC toggle to turn it on/off when convenient.
For example, a food app requires you to have your precise location on ALL the time. Well what if you want to just open it to see if there’s any deals? You have to expose your home location for that? Nonsense!
Another example, you open a food app (one that doesn’t have any text fields) and it wants to take whatever is on your clipboard…. Like WHY do you need to take potentially sensitive information from a users clipboard when there is literally no use for it except to harvest user data. To be fair I don’t exactly remember if BeGoneCIA did anything to protect clipboard, but it would be nice if the new version did.
