Facebook home as a new OS wannabe?

On 4th of April Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled Facebook Home for Android during a press conference in California. Facebook Home is a suite of apps that delivers an entire Facebook experience to your phone. This will act like a “skin” that operates on top of the existing Android OS on your smartphone.

The catch with “Facebook Home” is that the more you share, the more Facebook learns about you and gives you more content to share. Privacy and security researcher Ashkan Soltani explained that Facebook Home bridges the gap between passive data collection and active data-such as when you “Like” something on Facebook. The main purpose of this app is to expand Facebook on Android and to become a permanent layer between you and your apps.

And since users will use the new screen as the permanent layer between you and your apps all internet traffic will pass through this interface. Of course the data will be collected by Facebook and has been this way since you created your Facebook account.
