„A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Cookies“

When an app uses the Facebook SDK, Facebook gets access to the same permissions that the containing app has. Let that sink in.

I dug through a few popular photography apps on the iPhone with a disassembler. I discovered VSCO uses the Facebook SDK.

Using VSCO, you’d have no idea it’s talking to Facebook. We wager they’re just using it to track ad conversion, but who knows? Sadly, the web has tools like Ghostery to block trackers, but there’s no such solution for mobile apps.
