I found that when I removed facebook's app, which was pre-installed on
my phone, it came back again. I did this a few times then gave up. But I
found that there are hidden apps only viewable in the settings. They
cannot be removed but they can be disabled. I disabled them and got a
warning that things might not work. I went ahead fearlessly.
Now I wonder, what information was facebook collecting, and how do I ask
them to delete it if I don't have an account?
According to facebook they don't collect anything unless you agree to
their T&Cs, but there might be something in the Android T&Cs, or
somewhere which I didn't notice.
I'll be monitoring things from now on, and may use the adb to delete or sabotage these apps.
