Well what's making the connection? It looks like unencrypted http, if your social security number and last known addresses are streaming by you should be able to see them. It's a bit of a jump to say that FB (not that I'm particularly fond of them) is spying on you from a single netstat command. You probably clicked login with facebook for some site and it's just autologging you in or overzealous prefetching. Either way, I think we can all stop making tinfoil hats now...
