Does Facebook just grab everything they can? Does anybody know if they grab your device's battery status, or gyroscopic data about how you are tilting/holding your device?

I mean, likely. Given the number of devices they are on, someone has to be using the Battery Historian or similar tools to optimize for power usage.
