    Am I getting old? "full disk access" used to be something that's supposed to be normal; if you're the owner of the machine.

      TFA:

      > Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems—including files, mail, messages, and even browsing history—without users’ full knowledge and understanding.

      If you think an app from (say) Facebook can be trusted with unrestricted access to your whole machine, you're at least a bit naive.
