Right, battery usage is reported by app not by hardware function. It seems unlikely Apple would be willfully letting Facebook have special capabilities.

- Liquix 7y agoNot too long ago, the idea of the NSA & GCHQ working together to silently strong-arm tech giants to spy on their own citizens/customers was a laughable conspiracy theory. Then we learned about PRISM. Hard proof that Apple, Facebook, Google, and the NSA secretly collaborate to mass-collect data on US citizens. It's 100% reasonable (and perhaps in our best interest) to assume any large tech company will and does cater to the NSA/CIA/GCHQ/Mossad's interests before their customers' - or even their shareholders'. Revenue and market share are important, but a powerful agency threatening your company takes priority over anything. Until proven innocent, we should assume that any and every large tech-centric corporation either has been or can be forced to cooperate with PRISM. IMHO now that the public has access to the Snowden leaks and Vault 7, it is irresponsible (and perhaps dangerous) to think otherwise.
- mattacular 7y agoYes, all that is true, and why I used the word "willful" in my comment.
