Honestly I'm pretty sure it's for publicity. The intent is to get the message out that Facebook is as anti-privacy as any site can get. Major media outlets are going to cover this story to death more and more as the date approaches.
Facebook's network can handle hundreds of millions of visitors a day, many of them mindlessly refreshing all day long. There's absolutely no way a disorganized network people with limited resources (comparatively speaking) are going to even cause a slight hiccup with Facebook's network.
