This is especially nefarious paired with their other practices. Many phones stock ROMs also ship with preinstalled bloatware including TikTok and Facebook crap.
I had to use Android developer tools (ADB powershell commands) to remove multiple facebook and tiktok packages from a friends new phone because they can't be removed any other way. There was no "user visible" FB app but several packages were present and makes me think FB crap may run as "background" by default on several vendors stock ROMs. Irritating and deceiving to the consumer.
I also blacklist all their domains using PiHole so nothing on my home network can covertly back channel any data to their mothership. (Currently using Developer Dan's lists from GitHub - the Facebook list alone has almost 30,000 hosts on it)
These big tech surveillance bros can get clapped.

Yeah that's what I daily drive. It is nice knowing there isn't a bunch of bundled spyware on your device.
