Impressive (but not surprising if you know him), that RMS has positive words for RMS with respect to the usage of the word "hacking" (the topic at hand), even while reiterating his opposition to Facebook as a product. A baser would mind would fall back to an ad hominem attack:
Also classic RMS to say "support for the campaign" as though Zuckerberg is consciously following RMS's lead.
"I’ve been campaigning since the ’80s to correct the mistake, made by some journalists, which took ‘hacker’ to mean ‘security breaker,’" Stallman said. "I appreciate Zuckerberg’s support for this campaign."
Stallman continued, "As [Zuckerberg] noted, hacking is not good or bad in itself. It can be done in activities that are good and in activities that are bad. In the case of Facebook, it is bad."
