I think my point is this: how is this any different from religious evangelizing? It's pushing his personal views on other people needlessly. And Zuckerberg using a platform as large as facebook to cajole people into revealing stuff like this to satisfy his personal desire to support some arbitrary cause, it displays a high degree of irresponsibility.

Really? This is what shows Facebook to be irresponsible?
I didn't see many folks on HN complaining that Facebook/Google/etc. shouldn't take an advocacy position on SOPA, so it strikes me as odd how controversial Facebook taking one on organ donation is.

That's because Facebook and Google had legitimate business interests involved in SOPA. Unless Facebook is getting into the organ donation business, I don't see how your example is relevant.
