Unlike Twitter, it can be common to have Facebook links that people assume are basically public and visible but get blocked by requirement to sign-in. I'm not sure about the Javascript issues per se. And I generally do apologies (and promote such habits) when I use or prompt others to engage with entities I feel are harmful overall. To be specific to software freedom, instead of an absolute of never suggesting or using any proprietary software ever, I make compromises to be practical but I *acknowledge* and *apologize* for them. They aren't my fault, but I'm promoting *awareness* of the problem and refusing to spread the idea that using non-free software is just fine and normal.
