When an app asks for permissions, the OS should not only let you answer yes or no. Every category should have a "yes, but feed the app fake data" option.

This is the way (non-ironic, non-meme statement).

Make the algoritmh think you're an 11 year old PhD from Sentinel Island with a penchant for nordic paganism, that revels in discovering post-jazz and regularly eats fajitas at a cozy little place in Antarctica.

GrapheneOS does this- contacts and storage have scopes such that you can fake out the app into thinking it has access but really quarantine it to a specific folder. I use this for things like applications where I want it to have file access for photos, but only the photos I send to that folder.
For good reason! Security updates are super important and the project extends upon having regular updates there.
I use e os, i think it breaks most apps trying to access too much and does not support the google services. sadly cant say if it feeds fake data or not
