Could you elaborate? I'm concerned about these things myself, so I already don't use the Facebook app on my phone. What else can they collect?

Every website you visit that has a Facebook beacon on it. They collect this even if you're not a Facebook user.

I've been aware of this for a while but haven't done anything about it, but since you mentioned it I might as well ask: Is there an easy way to block this beacon? Is it something an adblocker would block by default?

Most adblockers include a list that blocks those beacons by default, such as EasyPrivacy or Fanboy’s Social Blocking List.
