I can't load facebook into an iframe, in a web page like the following one:
<html>
<head>
<!-- some stuffs here -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- some stuffs here -->
<iframe src="http://www.google.com" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
I've tested it with other websites and it seems to load without problems for instance for wired.com, but not for facebook.com...
Can anyone explain me why?
I'm using Google Chrome and Safari, if needed.
It seems to be as if Google blocks iframe loading of its page.
If you use Firebug or Google Chrome's developer console, you can see the following error
Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options.
X-Frame-Options
DENY
The page cannot be displayed in a frame, regardless of the site attempting to do so.
SAMEORIGIN
The page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself.
Here is another related stackoverflow question
Overcoming “Display forbidden by X-Frame-Options”
Google and Facebook are using a X-Frame-Options in the HTTP response header to avoid the content being loaded in a iFrame.
The X-Frame-Options HTTP response header can be used to indicate
whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a
or . Sites can use this to avoid clickjacking
attacks, by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other
sites.

I don't think it is possible for you to override this setting.
