Path

I’m quite sure that Path CEO Dave Morin would have forgone his 15 minutes of fame without anyone twisting his arm. In February, the popular photo-sharing app was found to upload users' entire address books to its servers without first asking permission. Morin didn’t make his life any easier when he first responded by saying that Path’s actions were an “industry best practice.” After the inevitable Internet uproar, Morin apologized and said the company would delete the data it collected and would henceforth ask permission before taking address book information.
