There is no official rule about it. IMO YouTube is a little more open then FB and FB may require you to login to view content.

It's available without login, at least on The Verge's page https://www.facebook.com/verge/videos/1779024592133876/

Sigh. It's run by Google, please.

What was meant is that you can access most of Youtube's content without having to log in, whereas of Facebook which requires you to be authenticated most of the time to access content.

In this particular case, it did not ask you to log in though, so there's little difference.
