To add to that, there are also significant privacy concerns (this too) with loading anything from the Facebook servers (including the "Like" buttons).

Well, in Germany one site (www.heise.de) made some nifty code to circumvent the specific problems of the like-buttons; it is open source and here available. It uses a two-click-solution; first you click on a button similar to the FB-ike-button; then you are forwarded to a second page with the real button.

Facebook tried to argue that doing this violates its ToS (not doing this would violate law in many countries).

Using a distinct button for first click seems to be OK.

Ah, that's pretty neat.

Although, I guess that'd be a trivial inconvenience, and so there would be far less point in having the buttons in the first place.
