Uninstalled the Facebook app a while ago — constant geolocation is too high a price. Also, file access could allow Facebook to read photo geotags when location was turned off. Constant clipboard access from the FB app was excessively invasive as well. Still use Facebook, but from a browser, making this sort of tracking only possible when I'm actually using Facebook.
