Businesses spend millions preventing their employees from accessing sites and services they feel are responsible for counter-productivity, but the evidence would seem to point to the contrary.

It all depends on your office culture, really. There are couple of things you should ask yourself before you disable that access.
1. Do you believe that Facebook is negatively impacting your employee's performance ?
2. What will come to replace facebook (and, perhaps a dozen of other social networking sites) once you deactivate it ?
You see, if you really have an issue with employee performance then facebook is likely an issue with the work ethic at the workplace and thus disabling access to facebook really doesn't address that issue. What you want is for your employees to focus on work while they know that they have access to facebook.

I think that a company should only allow Facebook if they use it for their business. Or they can allow the employees to use it during their lunch break. They just need to make sure it is not getting in the way of work efficiency.

I think you should block it, but unblock it during their lunch. Also, Facebook could be a good way to communicate with clients instead of email.

It all boils down to company principles and work ethics. Some offices pride themselves in providing a pretty easy and flexible work environment where people can pretty much do everything they want as long as they can produce results. Others, on the other hand, prefer efficiency and drive over the results-driven approach. If you want to see whether facebook should be allowed in your office or not, it is best to go back to the basics of your company principles.

I agree with @Koby. This is an issue at almost every office or work environment, but then again, there are so many other types of distractions like blogging, tons of other social networks, news sites, the works! The best route to take is to hire people you believe are committed and that earn your trust. Realistically speaking, if a member of my team find themself on Twitter a few times a day but is amazingly efficient, it's only sane. Maybe we should define it as the cigarette break of the 21st century :-P.
