Heise has thus changed the look of its greyed-out Facebook icon.

Last month, a German privacy group declared using the Facebook Like button leads to profiling that infringes German and European data protection laws. The organization alleged Facebook builds a broad profile for individuals not on the service as well as a more personalized profile of its members. The group also announced websites that use the Facebook Like button would be fined.
in one of the 16 german states it's now illegal to put the facebook like button on your website, fines up to 50,000 euro may apply. i am very curious to see how this plays out

The ULD is demanding that websites in Schleswig-Holstein remove their Facebook Pages as well as the Like button from their websites by the end of September 2011. If they do not, they will face a fine of up to ?50,000 ($72,000)

Wow, very interesting, it looks like Germany really cares about their citizens privacy. Did anyone remember that it was also Germany that made first reaction for Google surveillance of WiFi networks?
