Facebook 'Like' Buttons now Illegal in Germany.

There is a new German Law ordering websites to remove Facebook "like" Buttons from their page. The order came from the data protection commissioner of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Thilo Weichert, who explained the following:
"Whoever visits Facebook.com or uses a plug-in must expect that he or she will be tracked by the company for two years. Facebook builds a broad individual and for members even a personalized profile."
Facebook, however, disagrees with almost all of Weichert's complaints. A spokesman explained that the company "delete[s] this technical data within 90 days... in keeping with normal industry standards," adding that they are in full compliance with European data protection laws
