It's one of the endpoints involved in Facebook's Messenger service. 
IIRC it's "graph.facebook.com", although I note that that address is
currently answering as:

graph.facebook.com.     2068    IN      CNAME   api.facebook.com.
api.facebook.com.       2068    IN      CNAME   star.c10r.facebook.com.
star.c10r.facebook.com. 25      IN      AAAA    2a03:2880:f00e:a:face:b00c:0:2

To be fair though, that one could just be what a load-balancing name
service is responding at the moment.  Notice that the two addresses are
only off by one.

But even more interesting is that it's now working:

And even just a few minutes ago it was not as I was testing it for
another (off-list) query:

Perhaps the bit of cage rattling that I have done here has knocked
something loose.  :-)
