I wrote a post about Facebook an Linked Data. Long story short, they 
produce 5-Star Linked Data via Turtle based documents [1] which are 
exposed via the Facebook Graph API.

Note, this is about authenticated access to structured data. The 
structured data is standards based, which is why it is correctly seen as 
"Open" i.e., the API based access controls aren't the basis for 
determining if its "Open" or "Distributed" since the data does indeed 
flow in and out of Facebook domains [2].
