High security issue due to the pre-installed facebook app. Samsung had partnered with facebook to help stealing user data. Thats why facebook app is pre-installed and also not removable. I am consorn about my privacy. I want samsung to let me uninstalled facebook immediately to secure my data. I am formaly contacting you to warn for this practice of data stealing or indirectly helping other app for data stealing. If not any immediate action taken from your side, I planed to go to consumer court for consumer rights. Also advice all samsung users who have facebook like apps which track you activity or steal phine data 24×7, please raise voice.

front looking facebook app is not only 1 app. there r 4 to 5 facebook services present in phone. do u think everyone who is not technical like you will first get to know the app package name then run ADB command? you have secured ur phone by using this. how can others?
or if this is the solution why dont samsung do it for all. or the best is samsung does not forcefully add **bleep** apps in stock.

Actually Facebook will not steal your data from back ground and it runs in background to check whether the device is connected to internet. Go to app settings and disable all the app permissions thats it you are done with it.
