Facebook was looking into setting up their own Tor hidden service, what would eventually become facebookcorewwwi.onion (the fact that I can recall that URL is a BIG DEAL, ask me why later).
So they partnered with Tor, specifically the now infamous Jacob Appelbaum (a serial sexual abuser -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum#Allegations_of_sexual_misconduct)
Facebook's goal was to get IETF standardization so they could get a domain certificate for their .onion service. (Ask me why later, more nerdery).
