Really?
I have liked the plague on facebook, now I fear my medical insurance might deny treatment in case i catch it.
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!
