Does that make it right for Facebook to gather this data? It seems entirely unnecessary.

  If I'm understanding the other comments in the thread then the behavior is based on how Android worked in that older version... e.g. if (on) { /* execute code for said feature */ } Which implies: " In the version of Android mentioned the on flag is on when you install. It was a feature of that version of Android to turn it on... how can FB know you didn't want it on?"

    > It was a feature of that version of Android to turn it on... how can FB know you didn't want it on?" What user wants that "feature" on? (or at least to send the data to Facebook for storage)

      Yeah, that's the whole issue. I cannot think of any reason why Facebook would want to store that data that benefits the user.
