If they are willing to go through all of the trouble of reimplementation, wouldn't it have made a LOT more sense to implement GRE rather than TCP, then just pump whatever they wanted through the GRE tunnel in whatever protocol they wanted?
I'd consider is just a publicity stunt. A proof of principle that you can abuse the proprietary platforms. Nothing really unexpected, but, still nice to see Nyan cat with FB as a transport layer.
