Sure, it may seem innocent enough. After all, it's merely the substitution of a third-person plural possessive pronoun where a more gender-specific and singular "his" or "her" would have been the grammatically correct alternative. But where does it end?
It may be a computer geek's world out there, but let's not forget that a good copy editor is also useful when writing code, and it just so happens that there are a lot of talented writers looking for some non-union work these days.

"Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow us to use 'he' or 'she' in these types of newsfeeds. We've put in a request to them, but for the time being are limited by their decision in this matter."
