https://hstspreload.appspot.com/ says they don't use HSTS as a preload. They should...

Facebook seems to be doing some client sniffing to decide whether to set the headers..

In my browser (FF nightly), I see the HSTS header, with the value: "max-age=15552000; preload"

If I do a request with curl, no header... (which is probably what this app sees).

Facebook has HSTS preload on www.facebook.com, but not on the redirect from facebook.com->www.facebook.com. I suppose they have their reasons

Google.com also doesn't seem to have it.

Google only uses a certificate pin and doesn't force SSL. Sadly.
