Provider "facebook inc." in Google Analytics - what is it?

A strange provider appeared in the Google analytics "facebook inc."
Never met before, and now hundreds of transitions.
There was an assumption that these were meta-information requests during sharing, but no, the entrance through the main page and then interactions like a regular user.

And even more interesting and mysterious is that these are transitions not from a link and not even from a search engine.
Has anyone encountered a similar phenomenon?
The only thing I could google on this topic: Google Analytics: service provider facebook inc.
Perhaps Facebook will soon launch its own Google Facebook Fiber?

Perhaps this is the corporate network of Facebook.
Did you by any chance mention your resource in your resume? :)

There was a similar situation this weekend (more precisely, from August 11 to 13) - advertising on FB was stopped, but the traffic was going, over a thousand, though 100% of failures in 1-3 seconds. visits.

Most likely an ad moderation service. They probably taught the robot to execute javascript or simulate a human transition.
