Why is Facebook asking for users preferred temperature scale?

I think it could have something to do with Events - events display the expected temperature at the location at the time of the event. The temperature scale changes depending on the preference you pick.

It's always annoyed me that Events would tell me the temperature in °F.

Facebook events show a weather prediction for the time of the event. I imagine they use this setting to present the temperature in the user's preferred scale.

That's probably the least creepy thing about Facebook.
