In order to use the Twit API, a program must use an authentication key (called "consumer key and secret") assigned to the software program using the key.
I have setup my identi.ca account to mirror into my twitter account.I have no authentication key. Just use the abilities of those existing services.
The FacB API also requires some sort of developer key.
I write (since shortly - took me ages to get started) blog entries and have told my Facebook account to mirror them.

What I do is treat Twitter and FreedomBox not as privacy zones of mine, but instead treat them as data silos interesting in sucking public stuff - so I let it suck some public stuff so that my poor friends locking themselves up in those data silos get a few glimpses of my practicing Free Speech.
For Facebook I found a blog aggregator app which sucks in only excerpts, not the full blog entries, which encourages Facebook users stumbling acrooss my posts via Facebook to get out into the larger internet to read the full stories.
I want my FreedomBox to function as a blogging tool. Both targeted public and (in a later version when WebID gets sorted out and integrated) various privacy spheres.
I do *not* want my FreedomBox to distort the perception of "privacy" by leaking(!) anything targeted a private sphere onto Facebook as well. Which means I see no reason for FreedomBox to provide any linkage to Facebook, since Facebook already has a gazillion ways to suck in public stuff all by itself - especially stuff served on a silver plate like RSS and Atom data is.
