Can't see it.

Hey Skybird I hear Germany is pulling every gold bar out of France, now that is going to get them rather angry. Who cares its your gold, after all Germany is taking a percentage out of the BoE & Fed as well.

remember the old saying that if you tell someone a secret it is no longer a secret?

that applies to the internet too.

just remember that and you would be fine

Really?:o
I have liked the plague on facebook, now I fear my medical insurance might deny treatment in case i catch it. :haha:
An honest question, nonetheless: do you know a case where the companies were succesfull with a rejection based on a like-click, even in court?

However my original statement considering the like-button, was about a practice, mentioned for example in this article: https://www.datenschutzzentrum.de/pr...acebook-en.htm
This is why websites who care about data protection, hide google+/facebook crap, untill the user explicitly agrees to show them.
For anyone interested, here is a javascript example, by the German computer mag c't: http://www.heise.de/extras/socialshareprivacy/ (site is in GErman, however code is universal;))

Repeating the same argument twice on one page, does not change the fact that the law and people who care about data protection see it different.

Please check what's true:
( ) you have read the article
( ) you know the difference between the two proposed drafts
( ) you know the data protection laws of at least one EU member state
( ) you know what 'consent' and 'revoking consent' means

Judging from your statements I can't see any of this. In case you check all 4 boxes, we can have an open debate about the proposed law. Cheers!
