Technically, Google can install arbitrary software on your phone -- Google Play installations are served by "push", not "pull".
If you own a cell phone, you're already screwed from a privacy standpoint with carriers tracking which tower you're connected to.

In short, Facebook is the last app I would want auto-updating.
EDIT: I realize you can refuse the update, but what's the point? It doesn't look like you can see what has changed.
