RE the Facebook Fraud issue...

A Speculation: 

Could an (e.g.) 1/10 cent user payment connected to the current Like button (whether it was credited to the likee or something else*) stop the Facebook Fraud problem by making them non-viable for clickfarms.. and still not seriously impact the original button's usability?

And could that level of payment be viable under either monied like button model? (I believe it can be done).

*for instance a user could designate a charity recipient for these likes

Won't somebody please think of the developers in
other countries?

"Hi, Josef, what are you hacking on?"

"Privacy technology."

"But the Ministry of Peace and Love is there to
protect us! Privacy technology is unpatriotic!"

"I know, but this is to keep us safe from the NSA!"

"Oh, I see...right on, then!"
