New Facebook android app update can read all your texts/sms and control wifi

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

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
