To me it's a question of consistency: does FSFE not agree with FSF? RMS says "absolutely no to Facebook", so then?
I asked about a similar bit of FSFE policy on 2017-07-26 and is archived https://lists.fsfe.org/pipermail/discussion/2017-July/011731.html
As you can see the responses I received indicated a remarkable departure from what Stallman (RMS) has said about open source's development methodology and its practical consequences. He's quite clear to point out in his talks and writings:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
that the two are radically different when faced with powerful, reliable proprietary software. You can still come across articles in the tech press that play out the very difference Stallman described so many years ago.
I bring this up in order to back up the point that, no, apparently the FSFE doesn't agree with the FSF on all points.
Perhaps now that it's in vogue to get rid of one's Facebook account (if one had such an account to begin with), FSFE will consider getting rid of theirs and explain why. It seems eminently sensible to me to join with the FSF's "not F'd" view per https://www.fsf.org/facebook.
