No need to question it further. A completely benign reason with no ulterior motive. Just allow it and be happy. Facebook wouldn't do anything against your wishes...

>>>Don't put anything on the internet that you don't want Facebook, Google, the NSA, and every one else looking at.
This is a very good advice that I followed to the letter when I killed my sister and buried her body in my backyard so I could collect insurance money.
