I've too noticed that they aggregate 'button clicked likes', comments and shares as overall 'likes'. However, I just assumed that their logic is that if someone posts a comment or shares the link, they're 'liking' it.

I don't think that logic holds; I can comment on something, or provide a link to it, because I hate it.
I think it's largely impossible for him to sift through this data accurately. Who is to say that diff people didn't share something vs liking it? Also he makes it seem as if the news sites are falsely reoresenting their content popularity when all they are doing is presenting a fb social widget.
I don't see too big of a problem with it regardless. If you spend your time liking, sharing, or commenting on something there is obviously an 'emotional' response to it. As long as FB doesn't start saying 'your friend x' likes this, when in fact they posted a comment disagreeing there isn't a huge problem. Even then I think the fact that it created a response of some sort is a 'like', atleast in the sense people I se…

The topic makes FB sound deceitful, but they don't hide this information, it says it right here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ The number shown is the sum of: -The number of likes of this URL -The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook) -The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL -The number of inbox messages containi…
We noticed this when starting out company (which measures these stats for your blog), and it never struck me as odd. Sure it seems a little disingenuous at first, but the Like button has replaced the Share button as the preferred implementation. Moreover, every like, share, or comment gets posted to your wall for your friends to see (privacy settings depending) so you are in fact "recommending" it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think that logic holds; I can comment on something, or provide a link to it, because I hate it.
True, but if you take "like" to mean "validate," then that logic does hold -- even if you hate an article you're sharing, you're still validating it.
You may as well say if friend means totally random person you've only met once. Oh, wait...
