I understand the point but FB 'knowing' about you isn't the same as your employer 'knowing' about you. People spend time cultivating a professional persona (via CVs, how they interact with peers at work etc) and all of this could be damaged by an unsympathetic employer seeing a drunken pic on FB (which your friend probably uploaded/tagged).

It's the 'intent' that's different. FB doesn't single people out. Your employer (by asking for FB access) is explicitly singling people out.
