It's not the user's decision if you include code or images or do any
sort of remote requests to facebook in the page itself.  In that case,
the site operator is leaking the user's browsing patterns to facebook if
they're logged in.  If you're making a facebook link to allow people to
more-easily be tracked by centralized surveillance organizations, please
don't pull in third-party images or javascript.  that way, it's at least
opt-in instead of opt-out.
