Recode reports that Niantic Labs didn't intend to spy on users Google accounts.

We recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user’s Google account. However, Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon GO or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon GO’s permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves.

Like I said when Google launched Ingress, you are their digital serf. I wouldn't download Pokemon Go to any device.

Yeah it's pretty lol-worthy.

@TheTruth, methinks you're overreacting, and how....

I like it, a fun little adventure. Ever since OK Go did that weird thing with a car it feels like marrying a good tune+band to a car brand is getting a little obvious. We all listen to music in our cars. That said, please don't stop, it's a heck of a lot more creative, fun and interesting than your "celebrity spokesperson points at features" ad of yore.

There are two kinds of advertising, and it's not soft sell vs hard sell. It's leading vs following. This is following. Following is fail.

btw, Pffffffffffffff... If you're referencing the Flying Dog Brewery and their fight to keep their artwork and name on their IPA, that brewery turned that episode around quite nicely. After winning a small sum, they established “1st Amendment Society” a nonprofit organization to advocate for free speech.

As for what Anonymous #1 said regarding Ellen Pao and Sam Biddle - HA! - the problem with getting celebrity spokespeople is that you also turn off the people who hate those celebrities which you illustrated quite nicely.

I've always hated that tired joke about needing therapy because your parents love each other. Talk about first world luxury problem. "Dad thinks mom is hot, how terrible!"

Everybody who once produced entertainment/"content" now produces commercials! Comedy Central, Funny or Die, CNN, Buzzfeed, you name it! And advertising agencies just sat idly by and watched.

A petition? They made a petition? This is sad, how poor it is.

I feel for the AD who had to balance the hundred logos. Been there, mate.

Dabitch's picture

Well, I assumed a hot dog eating contest judge, so why is that funny? His amount of hot dogs is abysmal compared to real competitors' numbers? Or wait, are you snarking m'dear? Because that's exactly where my mind went, hence the "whuh?"
