You Can Check Out But You Can Never Leave

Here in the US some providers and phone makers have been reported as preinstalling the Facebook app on their Android phones, with no provision for uninstalling it. The app/apps can be disabled. Users reported that even without logging in to the app - or even having a Facebook account - the phone was still transmitting data to Facebook.

I wonder if that is still the state of affairs on the Android side?
