No, you can not use nested <% %>

You need to use just <% if (userProfile.facebook.length === 0) { %>

Like

<% if (userProfile.facebook.length === 0) { %>
    <h1>No Facebook!</h1>
<% } %>

You don't have to rewrite ejs expression tag again inside if as if statement itself is in expression tag and will render the template variables without any problem.
