I don't get the point, TOR is meant to conceal your identity, using TOR on Facebook projects a terrible understanding of how it works
E.g. you don't want your ISP to know you're visiting Facebook.
After all, TOR gives you flexibility in privacy, it's up to you how to use it.

Why wouldn't you want them knowing your using Facebook though? I don't understand how that benefits anyone. Most isp allow facebook.
And some don't. You know, a lot of Iranians access facebook via Tor.

Exactly. Some countries or even employers etc don't allow access, but I don't see why you need a tor address anyway when you can just visit the normal url via it.
I heard that if you access FB via Tor as usual, your account can get automatically blocked because you accessed it from another country. Tor service helps to alleviate this.
