Thread: Facebook scraped call, text message data for years from Android phones

This past week, a New Zealand man was looking through the data Facebook had collected from him in an archive he had pulled down from the social networking site. While scanning the information Facebook had stored about his contacts, Dylan McKay discovered something distressing: Facebook also had about two years' worth of phone call metadata from his Android phone, including names, phone numbers, and the length of each call made or received.

Sweeeeet.

I'd heard something about them doing this years ago. That's part of why I never put FB on my phone, or their messenger.
