Well I missed this story when it broke back in August.
It seems the FB like button and other similar social media buttons have been declared illegal in Germany!

If this happens on other countries, it will change a lot of things. As it is, it's a way to measure how popular a Fan Page or business page is but if it comes to happen elsewhere, other such buttons will come in its place. Take the Subscribe button for example, it is a lot like the Twitter Follow and if Twitter business pages can survive without a Like button, I guess so will Facebook.
It will certainly be interesting to see how this plays out. The "like" button is something that I'm sure many users in different countries do not want to see taken away. Scintillion
How so? It has been a while since I read about this as well, so maybe Germany was on it own with this? Thanks, Dreamraven

Has the facebook button been declared illegal in your country, or others? So far the only one I have heard of was Germany, and it was a while before this thread was created. You can agree with the post or disagree, its up to you, but what had me curious was why. Which is what I asked. ![]() Thanks, Dreamraven |
