Chances are good that you have a dozen other apps logging your location as invasive as Facebook is, and those ones participate in the same data exchanges that Facebook does.

There's a strong network of trackers both in the digital space and now the meat space, so the cards are pretty much stacked against you.

When my Nexus 4 eventually dies I'm going to replace it with a dumb phone.

I realised the other day that I use it for the internet about once a week since I'm either at home, work or out doing something where a phone isn't an option (cycling, swimming etc).
