It seems you are interpreting the wiki as a flawless authority,
when it would probably be more appropriate to consider it a crufty
guideline that one of us should get around to updating.

Which part of that page made you feel you should strip out
facebook?
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/HandClassifiedCorpora?highlight=%28facebook%29
That says to not include any _spams_ received via those channels, not
to discard them _in toto_.
It actually says:
DO NOT include such mail in either ham or spam folder. Just delete it.
Why? We don't want to count these as spam, causing false marks against
highly safe whitelist rules like USER_IN_DEF_DKIM_WL. They do not count
as ham either, because spam URL's or spam text would throw off the
statistics if they show up in the ham folder. Simply delete them
That is in reference to _spams_ received via facebook et. al., NOT to
legitimate ham messages received from them.
The complete context makes that clear:
* Spam Sent via Legitimate Services (Facebook, Livejournal, etc.)
Occasionally you receive spam text posted to your account on
services like LiveJournal or Facebook. {followed by the above quote}
Vetted ham messages from facebook, linkedin, livejournal, etc. are
acceptable and should not be excluded simply because of their source.
