Great,
On android any app can listen for clipboard events without permission. It's very possible that the Android Facebook app is scraping this data.
It also happens that the Facebook app is pre installed on Samsung devices and cant be removed.
- izacus 9y agoYou should be able to disable it though - it's effectively the same as uninstalling it.

- milankragujevic 9y agoNote that FB has a service that keeps the app updated, which can't be disabled.
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoAs a data point, my Samsung Galaxy J7 came with the Facebook app and I was able to uninstall it without issue. So it looks like this doesn't apply to all Samsung phones.
- jmkni 9y agoThis is why I’ll only use Vanilla Android (your second point, not your first one). The customisation OEMs do to Android reminds me of the old, bad, days of Windows XP.
