hmm, apps have to request internet permission in android.

is this surfaced in the gui? can you deny an app permission to speak on the network on first launch?
why has desktop linux not adopted the android permissions model?
@sneak Come to think of it, even Windows 10 does this.
@sneak The Android model is a bit messy (it's slowly improving).
But you're right, Linux is stuck in the antiquated model of user permissions (from the seventies, when you shared the machine with ten's of people)
The Android model of application-level permissions is better. My opinion is the best system would be application level permission to use libraries with their own permissions. Just like in Oracle PL-SQL.
