Do we know that it's gathering data or is that FUD/paranoia?

I just got a new Samsung phone and I don't have Facebook on here, I must have uninstalled it immediately. It's not in the apps list but disabled, it's fully non present. Is there a reason to be upset about this?



Yes look under system apps. There's something like Facebook services that's not disabled and can't be removed from the UI. I don't remember the exact name because I uninstalled all the crap with adb.

But I think it's completely outrageous for a company to want to make money with my data on a device I paid for. Same with the TVs that take screenshots to see what you're watching.
