That's not Facebook's problem...should they also write Esperanto terms of service and Swahili terms of service just because security researchers exist who speak those languages?

And the bug wasn't this hacker's problem. It's important to remember that this guy went out of his way to help Facebook.
As such, they should be a bit more understanding when someone that speaks Esperanto submits a bug without doing so in a way that perfectly adheres to their terms of service. They should step back and take a subjective view instead of trying to make it black and white. Was he acting maliciously? Did he knowingly violate the terms or was it out of ignorance? Was he trying to hurt Facebook by violating the terms or help them?
