Doesn't Google Analytics also phone home? Google's tracking is far more widespread than Facebook's if that's the case.

Google Analytics seems somehow less harmful than AdSense. Almost every big website has some kind of analytics running. I assume that GA data isn't sold to advertisers, but I'm not sure.
