Bad behavior from a nice designed App →

3 months ago ～

Path uploads your full address book on their server, without asking or even warning you. Dave Morin (CEO) answered in the post saying they’ll change this, but my answer is:

1. It is important for services/companies to have as many email addresses in database as possible, whatever they are saying. It is worth a lot of money for them, for now or a later use (note: it also allows Path to tell you X has signed in, but they could easily achieve similar feature uploading hashes of the mails instead)
2. Many other apps do the same, without warning.

However I can’t stop myself from thinking how much of a bad behavior this is.
