The App Store having additional restrictions doesn't have anything to do with the privacy aspect of the walled gardens being a "lie". You can go on a tirade about the app store's limitations if you want, but that's not relevant.
Your proposed solution would not work, obviously, because how do you define what services an app is allowed to connect to? How do you know it's connecting to Facebook's servers? Just hope they always use facebook.com?

It's the true motive for the "walled garden" -- it explains why it continues to exist even though the stated reasons why it exists don't pan out in practice. > Your proposed solution would not work, obviously, because how do you define what services an app is allowed to connect to? Why is it allowed to connect to any services for no reason? If the app makes a network connection the developer should have to justify it by something other than enabling collection of user data. > How do you know it's connecting to Facebook's servers? Just hope they always use facebook.com? I feel confident that Apple has the resources to determine whether the servers every application using the Facebook SDK is contacting belong to Facebook.
