Also this kind of thing get’s around, if FB changes that link code in a nefarious way the internet WILL notice and WILL complain,

That would be true if the simple looking link was "web 1.0."

But since the FB server gives back a dynamically generated script, that can be tailored by referring link, time, requestor IP, etc, then the same old simple link from JimRob simply gives them a hook to do whatever with whomever.

Give it a rest. Don’t like facebook? Don’t click on the button.

No it’s true right now. Every single time FB changes their security settings there’s a hundred stories on the net and half of them wind up on FR. Even if they did do a customized one for FR all JimRob (or any FR nerd) has to do is the EXACT SAME THING you did a couple times a week.
