I got a permissions request for Newschoolers.com to access my device's motion sensor data. What are you all using that data for?


Just interested is all.

Hey! I've never seen this request and don't think we record this data. Did you see this on the app? Mobile browser? Desktop? Did you manage to get a screengrab?

So I saw this on a web browser. I can clear my cache and grab a screenshot of you'd like. It could also be that the settings are such that any available data is requested, which I suspect is the case if this isn't intentional.

A screenshot would be super helpful if you can replicate this. Thanks!

Ha right, I'll put a reminder in my calendar to do it tomorrow. Currently lapping park with my husband and some fireball.
