What the actual fuck? How is this not a violation of my privacy expectations, and how is this justified?

Facebook scans system libraries from their Android app user’s phone in the background and uploads them to their server This is called "Global Library Collector" at Facebook, known as "GLC" in app’s code It periodically uploads metadata of system libraries to the server

There's obviously sandboxing... but a subset of the system libraries are usable by apps so they have SELinux labels that are accessible to apps. How would apps use libraries that are part of the public API if they couldn't read them? It's also all part of a verified system image.
