Google Removing Apps Ability to read SMS

I just found some disturbing news that I wanted to share. Google will be blocking applications from reading SMS. You might use this in more ways than you realize, I know I use it with Tasker, where's my Droid, and to automatically reply to text while I'm driving that I can't text back because I'm driving.

This reminds me of how Google removed Miracast... But what really bothers me is how many entrepreneurial apps have been created improved and on the market for years with a solid user base that are going to be decimated by this move.

not only that but it reminds me of Microsoft and how it treats its end users as if they are incapable of making a decision for themselves, IE: hitting yes or no to the proper permission requests...

See this thread for more information and to leave a comment for Google....
