Is this really a compelling argument for the given case? A detailed audit does not seem necessary here:

This is not some surprising behaviour hidden in some random dependency.

This is the Facebook SDK, from Facebook, and everybody knows what their business is.

Ignorance is a bliss. Talk to some people that still use fb after their scandal and you'll get "who cares, everyone is tracking users and selling data anyway" as an answer.

Exactly. A simple online search for the phrase "Facebook SDK" will reveal plenty. It's not like you need forensic accounting level research to see that the SDK does much more than provide a simple login mechanism.
