Glad I don't use any social networking bullshit. Arbitrarily turning on wifi is dangerous, recording audio and harvesting your texts is just outright spying. To disable this (if you have Cyanogenmod or rooted android) get AppOps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colortiger.appopsinstaller also nuke any app that wants to read your contacts that doesn't need to. Or dump facebook completely it's wank fest anyways

What? It can seriously read your texts? Is this turned on by default?

Thanks for this info I just removed Facebook from my android.

This is getting really bad, I also noticed that whenever i I login to Facebook app it immediately activated my GPS location even though I have that option off in facebook
