Growing up for a multi billion dollars company means fully monetizing user data they collect and then trying to collect even more. They've got ip logs so using phone permissions to try and get sim card data for a more detailed profile through use of public directories and using that to provide a better idea of what type of ad click through users with certain interests and other demographic data respond to can be of real value to marketers if they can properly organize it so it isn't random data.
