Is it though? The fact they are centralized now doesn't mean they can "only" work in a centralized manner. They are in the ad business, and as long as they can keep doing that would it really matter who hosts what?
Keep in mind the data requirements for a social network the size of Facebook are huge, perhaps too bing for a blockchain. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be a project tangential to their main product.
