The agreement between Facebook and Huawei, which dates back to at least 2010, gave special data access to Huawei, a company perennially in the crosshairs of the US government, the Times reported, citing sources inside the social media giant. Facebook also has similar arrangements with Lenovo, Oppo and TCL, but plans to wind down the Huawei deal by the end of the week, a Facebook representative said, confirming the Times' report.

The arrangements came out of efforts to integrate the Facebook experience with mobile devices, something a Facebook representative called a "standard industry practice."
