Why is Facebook getting into reinforcement learning? Are there applications of RL to improving social connections or extracting more data to sell to advertisers?

If you take a look at the announcement post for the framework, you can see some discussion about that: https://code.fb.com/ml-applications/horizon/

One application that they mention related (at least loosely) to social connections is deciding whether or not to deliver a notification to a user.

Any idea on what the objective function for such a thing would be?
