What do they even have an spider for? I never saw any actual traffic with source Facebook. I don't understand either, but it's their official IPs, their official bot headers and it behaves exactly like someone who wants my sites down.

Does it make sense? Nah, but is it part of the weird reality we live in. Looks like it

I have no way of contacting Facebook. All I can do is keep complaining on hackernews whenever the topic arrises.

Edit:// Oh and I see the same with Azure, however there I have no list of IPs to verify it's official just because it looks like it.

I got DoS'd by them once, email not HTTP traffic though. Quick slip of their finger and bam low cost load testing.
