Facebook internal discussion about reading all users' call log

The following is part of a discussion about giving Facebook's Android app permission to read users' call logs. It is dated 4 February 2015. Michael LeBeau (Facebook product manager): "As you know all the growth team is planning on shipping a permissions update on Android at the end of this month. They are going to include the 'read call log' permission... This is a pretty high-risk thing to do from a PR perspective but it appears that the growth team will charge ahead and do it." https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46456695

Fb app comes preinstalled on some US provider's android mobile phones. Preinstalled apps were not removable initially. There is a lot of companies eager to fsck people beside FB.

Your own damn fault if you give them permission.

It's the god damn Android's fault that lets the fking apps know if you deny any permission.

Fair.

To all the people saying just uninstall or just don't give the app permissions, you are missing the point. Even if you do everything right, Facebook will still get the call logs from your friends and relatives. They don't need YOUR call logs. They can reconstruct it from your contact's logs. Did you guys forget basic CS?
