 CCATP Podcast Explains the macOS Sequoia Beta's Excessive Permission Requests

   Adam Engst

   Apple has said nothing more about the nag level of screen recording
   permissions requests in the betas of macOS 15 Sequoia since I wrote
   '[1]macOS 15 Sequoia's Excessive Permissions Prompts Will Hurt
   Security' (12 August 2024) and '[2]Apple Reduces Excessive Sequoia
   Permission Requests, Shifts to Monthly' (19 August 2024). I think it's
   important to keep up the pressure since Apple has given no indication
   of backing off from its 'compromise' of asking for continued permission
   only 12 times per year instead of 52 times (plus every restart). To
   that end, I raised Allison Sheridan's blood pressure by explaining the
   situation on her Chit Chat Across the Pond podcast. If you're still
   unclear on what's happening, [3]give it a listen, and then be sure to
   tell Apple what you think.
