There is an option for this, but unfortunately you cannot set it; it must be set by your friends who do not want to see your comments and likes. If you comment on or like a post that they can view, then your comment or like may appear in their News Feed unless they turn those off. To do that they can hover their pointer over your name or go to your ...

The privacy of pages you Like is set on your timeline or profile. If you have timeline, go to your timeline and click on Likes, and then Edit in the upper right corner (Edit does not show up until you hover over it):

You will need to use the fql.multiquery method in the Facebook Query Language.

Can I "like" a TV show on Facebook but not see news from it in my News Feed?
Yes, you can. Click on the x to the right of any such news item in your feed (it appears when you hover over that item), and choose "Hide [page name]".
This way you retain the "like" status (i.e. continue to be a fan, as it used to be called), but you won't get any more ...

Sharing is the core nature of Facebook and I don't think you can hide it partially, the way you intend to. I don't remember having an option not to show all or some of the likes, or comments, etc. But there is a workaround possible now: with the new version of the privacy settings, you can share only with a subset of friends while hiding your activity from ...

There could be no privacy setting that could help you - when we "like" something, we are actively making a public statement about something. If we don't want people to know we like something, we don't publish it on the web (i.e. don't touch that "like" button).
Otherwise mark4o has the best answer: if your friends don't want to receive news about your ...

I disagree with your opening statement. As written in Facebook's official Help Center, only Page admins can formally "invite" friends to a Page. Non-admins can share the page with others, but not formally invite.
The portion of the article that you are quoting is referring to the prohibition against using Facebook features and functionality specifically ...

There is no way to prevent someone from clicking the "Like" button on a Facebook page, and there is no way to prevent people from commenting on posts to your Page.
If someone does comment on your Page you can click the X to the right of their post and choose "Delete and Ban User". But you'd have to constantly watch the page to do that for every comment ...

You can find which of your existing friends have the most Likes in common with you on the new Facebook Pages browser.
Unfortunately this doesn't help if you are looking for people that you don't already know. However you can interact with the other fans that you find on individual Pages that you Like, and can click on anyone's name on the Page to go to ...

Only if your Facebook privacy settings are set to allow non-friends to see your whole profile. It is not affected by whether the other person Likes (is a fan of) the page. You can find out what your profile looks like to non-friends by going to Account » Privacy Settings » Basic Directory Information - View settings » Preview My Profile. (If you have ...

Some sites try to Clickjack facebook likes (see, e.g., new facebook clickjacking attack) by hiding the like action behind an innocent-looking button.
Blocking scripts (NoScript on Firefox, NotScript on Chrome) can prevent some of these attacks.

According to the Facebook spokesperson quoted in this Marketing Land article:
We are currently testing the ability to subscribe to Pages with a
small group. This feature allows people to receive updates from Pages
without liking the Page. We have no further details to share at this
time.

Facebook has a policy of holding on to users’ data for a long time, even after they have deleted it. You can check the news for one such example relating to holding on to people’s images, even after they had deleted them. Also check out the Europe Vs Facebook page, where a guy is actively campaigning against Facebook’s misuse of peoples private data:

When a person with admin privileges for a given page access the "Build Audience" menu in the Admin Panel:
the "Invite Friends..." item should allow him to invite only friends (of that admin). He should not have been able to invite you this way, if you are not a direct friend.

If you like a fan page, you won’t get notifications like you used to. This is because Facebook has pushed the page owners to "promote their posts" with money. In other words, the fan page owner must now pay Facebook a certain amount of money to reach a guaranteed amount of its followers. Without paying, the post will only reach about 10 percent of the people ...

Could anyone intentionally have you reported on facebook (spam, hate speech, etc.) to cause it?. That "was" a feature of Facebook´s social plugin. Can't find an explanation on facebook documentation about why it was removed (by the end of 2012). I used to receive notifications for every someone else's reply or "like" to my comments or posts on a news web ...

The privacy of Like's is dependent on the default setting on your privacy settings page. Change it to something that isn't locked.
I tested this and verified it's this setting by liking a page somewhere else. In order to see the change take effect you'll need to clear your cache and reload the page (otherwise your old settings will be used to post the like ...

Weebly has a help page that deals exactly with the "Like" button. The first part of the tutorial walks you through generating the Facebook code to be included in your page. The last step of this part is important, because you have to choose the right type of embedding code—in this case iframe. (I think here is your problem, because the XFBML code doesn't ...

Per the Like button FAQ:
Can I link the Like button to my Facebook page?
Yes. Simply specify the URL of your Facebook page in the href
parameter of the button.
So your like button should look similar to this (will vary with options, obviously):
<fb:like href="https://www.facebook.com/iipmbschool" send="false" width="450" show_faces="true" ...

My guess is that facebook considers the two things to be separate entities:
The post on your facebook page. Your name and a link to your facebook page are an integral part of the post. The post includes the link to the blog entry URL but also can contain some text from you, the post-creator, that is specific to that facebook post.
