09/02/2015, 11:34 PMThough by far the trolliest thing you can do is PM someone -- which sends a push to your phone if you have it enabled -- and then delete the message - e

09/02/2015, 11:36 PMAll push is opt-in in the since that you have to explicitly give the app permission and you can always disable it later - e

bored-art-40741
09/02/2015, 11:36 PMOn iOS the app requests granular permissions when it tries to use them - b
