My thoughts on the whole FAQ issue summed up nicely in a Reddit post:
Woulda been better if GW was stomping on a 40k table with a giant AM boot in the cartoon - it would be a lot more accurate. Oblivious fans - GW being GW - and people who actaully play the game being like...WTFOMG!?!??!

He's not wrong though. Trying to claim that a post on the official facebook page somehow isn't official is the epitome of being a poor loser.
Also this thread needs to be taken out back and humanely put down already.
The people that is saying this image of the Facebook page isn't official reminds me the people that arguee that the "Developer's Commentary" wasn't an official FAQ because it wasn't named as such , it was just PR and marketing!

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

A post that proves the Meme. We are getting Meta up in this thread.

What issue?
I would imagine if you go first and move a Night Scythe up the table which is then destroyed in your opponents turn, are you allowed to use the Emergency Invasion Beamer stratagem or not, since you'll then be deplying a unit from reserves outside of your deployment zone turn 1? RAW I'd say no though that looks more like an unintended consequence than anything.
The wording actually states during a player's first turn, not during the player's first turn. I actually interpret this as meaning either player's first turn. I don't think it's the intention, but i wouldn't play my Deathmarks outside my deployment zone until the second battle round. I will, however, be giving some feedback to GW to have this clarified if and when these rules become official.

Not at all, you are just pushing an anti-GW narrative as you often do. What is happening is that Death Guard are rewarded for taking only units with that keyword. Their units weren't suddenly given a penalty they didn't have, they were given a reward they didn't have. To call it punishment is untrue.
The daemon warscrolls are there to be convenient for summoning purposes. The great hypocrisy is that you wouldn't hesitate to criticise GW for forcing players to buy another codex just to summon basic daemons.
Also this thread needs to be taken out back and humanely put down already.
A messy public execution might be more cathartic for the masses.
While I don't totally disagree with the comment, I didn't make it. xttz did.

Specific discussion can continue on/in the 40k boards as needs be.
fret not though, we'll all be enraged by something soon enough !
