I have often used phones without bothering to comprehensively fill out an address book, and should everyone be required to own random network devices or even to take a lot of photos? The only data I can think of which maybe you could "detect" is fake would be the user's extremely course location, but that's only because you might be able to guess at it yourself, at which point the device's data isn't even relevant anymore. This idea that apps are going to strong arm data out of users seems like one of those talking points which sounds good but doesn't pen out, but somehow simultaneously is used to prevent users from being able to increase either their freedom or their privacy. The status quo sucks, and is in the best interests of both overlords: Facebook knows if it has permission or not, and Apple can claim the only reason they won't abuse this knowledge is if you allow them curation control.
