Interesting---
I saw this post on FakeBook about phone security with apps and wondered about it. DuckDuckGo added a feature that tracks what different apps are doing on your phone and blocks them. The suspicious slightly paranoid part of me thought "Yeah-- it blocks them so IT can gather data and control the ads that come to your phone..."
I also thought it was interesting that Norton360 had so many blocked attempts-- looks like their partnership with adobe was getting blocked-- and I wonder if Norton360 blocked other apps from Adobe info sharing while it tries to do that exact thing... or maybe I am reading this all wrong....

I wonder if DuckDuckGo would catch the Recording app doing what it's doing...
