It's fantastic news in that it forces the companies who will undoubtedly lose millions of dollars in revenue from this to evaluate their inclusion of the tracking spyware in their apps.

that's not the only purpose of the SDK, we're using it for social login (login with Facebook).

But it's all or nothing right?

Why load it unless it’s being actively used for authentication?

Workaround for users: Enable airplane mode and disable WiFi, or block facebook domains

Workaround for developers: Go to Facebook Developer page > Analytics and disable automatic Events.[0] Apparently this doesn't solve the issue for everyone.
