Cannot verify server identity

Hi
I have got this problem. I get the following message in safari in MBP, iphone and ipad, all running latest ios



"Cannot Verify Server Identity
SAfari cannot verify the identity of "static.ak.facebook.com". Would you like to continue anyway?"
Options : Cancel, Details, Continue


I choose cancel all the time because it seems suspicious but i get it like every 5 minutes, so what should i do ? I have already reset Safari on my MBP but i keep getting it


Also i have not turned on facebook within any of the three devices.

Good point, since malware is most likely being installed on iOS devices.


I tried Macworld.com on Mountain Lion and iOS6 and only Mountain Lion had the error.


I also tried cnn.com and both Mountain Lion and iOS6 had the error. But I have noticed also that every time this comes up, there is a Facebook "Like" or "Log In" link.

The bigger question is, why does Facebook need any input from my computer in an way? If this certificate is normally functioning under the hood, is it tracking users silently? Does this new error accidentally expose what has been going on? Im not being paranoid because I realize that I dont know enough about certificates to say this is the case, but I do have to wonder what is really going on here.
