Anonymous claims Facebook to go down November 5
In its press release, posted by the Village Voice web site, Anonymous makes some very serious allegations against Facebook. The group says; "Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria." Anonymous offers no proof of its claims in its press release and also claims that Facebook keeps the data entered by its users, even if that user decides to delete his or her Facebook account.
Facebook has yet to respond to Anonymous' specific threats and claims. However, the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in an editorial to the Washington Post in March 2010, has denied that Facebook will sell its user info to advertisers or anyone else. He's also said that users have control over how their personal info is shared.

Maybe they'll be looking for proof to back up their claims, maybe they'll just shut it down to scare Facebook. Either way I don't think Anon would plan something this much if they was not positive of the outcome, it's just not the way they do things.
Good luck to them I say. A offline Facebook does not mean the world will end, but it might shake up the right people.

So anon are hacking the site in order to what...
Claim the information facebook is allegedly selling?
Sounds more like a scheduled DDOS not a direct break in, unless they've somehow coded a Zero day attack.
