I know exactly what is causing it.

In Safari on the Mac, enable the developer menu. change your user agent to iPad,

Open Facebook.com. View source. Search for user-scalable=0
that is the exact code which is causing this problem. It is instructing iPad safari to not allow zooming.

Now go back and change the user agent back to desktop safari. Reload Facebook and view the source code. The user-scalable=0 line is gone.

The only workaround is to use Atomic Browser on the iPad and change the user agent to something else like desktop Safari.

If anyone has a contact at Facebook please let them know about this immediately as is is ruining the facebook experience for iPad users.
