doesn't imply that Facebook is informed when an "upstream collection" request is made to a telco in relation to a Facebook user, but rather that the telco is. It's pretty unclear though.
PRISM and UPSTREAM featured in the same slide which would explain them being discussed together, but UPSTREAM isn't subject to tech firms' whims so the discussion might have been concerning telecom firms as well.
The reporting isn't clear, best read the transcript when available.
