In some countries (at least in The Netherlands), it's also plain illegal to lower one's salary based on just location. In fact, over here lowering salary in general is difficult to do. But this being the US, I suspect it won't be much of an issue for Facebook.

In practice it's also applied in Europe. When an employee requests a relocation it's a new contract anyway, so the new salary is up for negotiation.

Then again, nearly all tech jobs are in the randstad metropolitan area, so there is really only one locale anyway.
