title: "Social security app would like to change your system setting"

So I was asked to install an app to handle some social security and insurance
information (no don't ask me I don't even know what that's supposed to mean, or
what it's supposed to do). The app asks for permissions to change system
setting when I click on something that looks like notification button. I
suspect they intended to ask for push notification permission, but like, wow,
so security, such suspicious. On top of that, it's proprietary with explicit
terms about not modifying or reverse-engineering it.
I wish FSFE's [Public Money, Public Code](https://publiccode.eu/) movement were
a global movement and not just for Europe.
