One of the many reasons I didn't like the mandatory FB app install on some Verizon android phones. You couldn't even delete it if you wanted to. Best case scenario was to never log in. Ironically, I currently own a Pixel 2XL, have multiple google homes and chromecasts, use gmail, photos, etc., and let them run wild with my permissions. I think for me Google has created an ecosystem that I get a lot of value out of. I can't tell you how many times my phone has automatically given me pertinent information about a trip, or when to leave for work, or how to route around an accident. There is so much value for me, that I'm willing to trade my personal info. FB on the other hand just seems like a vampire most of the time. All I want to do is keep in touch with a few friends. It's even more egregious since I'm old enough to be in the first year cohort of FB rolling out, and have had to live with the ever increasing privacy intrusions.
