This is a good thing to enable, but I think that smartphones contribute
exponentially more data to Facebook services than laptops and browsers do.
Smartphones give easy access to location, background running services,
microphone. Even if you block these permissions to the app, Facebook gets the
data from their data providers that use Facebook ads.
