This doesn't work as well though for things like university campuses or large companies where many people may be using a single IP and identical hardware.

I would bet $100 FB does geolocate your IP to determine if it's likely a single residence or a larger multi-user building, and likely tracks that, but that misses a large chunk of their user base.

Imagine the number of people who use FB as a distraction at work or in class, but might not use it as much at home.
