Is there a black list for Android apps? Is there a blacklist yet for Android apps?  After reading things like this on slashdot, I think this sort of thing would be extremely helpful.  As much as I like Android because I'm not censored as to what I can and cannot install, I would like resources that help me censor myself.   I tried googling but I didn't see anything obvious.
The problem with something like this is it's really hard to keep up.  Somethings are easily seen as bad, but others, are harder to judge.  Would you black list a twitter client that has access to your location?  That's a feature since people can attach their location to their tweets.  It's not one I use, but it's one some people do.   What about a note taking app that has location and camera access?  Is there any use case at all for something like that needing your location or the camera?  You would need to create a standard for what's not acceptable and what is.

The sad corollary is, do people installing apps really pay attention to what permissions their applications want?
