Not sure how useful this is for non-techie users right now since it doesn't really give any more information than the permission request screen that is shown when installing an app.
What is the point of "expressing doubt" about a permission? I see a lot of doubt for permissions for apps where they wouldn't work without those permissions. Perhaps this would need to be curated somehow with explanations why a specific permission requirement of a specific app is a problem, like if it abuses read contacts to harvest all contacts without asking or really does track the device using imei or wifi/bt mac address.
