The bigger concern would be whether doing so is acceptable under the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. I'm not sure how much data is transferred simply by users loading an iframe from another site or what other risks there might be from doing so.
My understanding is that merely displaying the "Like" button allows Facebook to track the browsing of anyone who visits the page, whether they have a Facebook account or not.
While I'm sure Facebook is a lovely company that has only its users' best interests at heart, it is probably a good idea not to enable third-party user tracking services on Wikimedia websites, as a matter of principle if nothing else.

So it's better to find other hosting provider for chapters web site?
