No, tu quoque is when someone defends entity A's bad actions by saying that entity B also does bad things.

The GP is not trying to defend Facebook here. Their argument is that Mozilla is not acting fully ethically, by seemingly treating Google specially. Therefore tu quoque does not apply. (Moreover, the argument is logically sound.)

No. The point isn't that Mozilla shouldn't worry about privacy issues regarding Facebook, it's that they should AND should worry about them regarding Google in a similar fashion.

Caesar represents Mozilla’s users being stabbed in the back by Brutus Mozilla, and the Google Analytics cookie that is downloaded upon installing Firefox is the dagger.
