This is the reason why we absolutely cannot have the Facebook Like button: Facebook makes you use an FB-hosted button image (and JS too, I think), collects data from every user that views the Like button even if they don't click it (this is the part that violates the privacy policy), and disallows self-hosting.

Unfortunately it's in German, but the code is easy to understand.
