Eh...Facebook's use the word "friend" as a verb has not eroded my deep and meaningful sense of the word as a noun. It's just another use which has been added to our cultural context. It's up to you to let it change your perspective on friendship.

For me, functions dual use, though grammatically both are similar enough that it operates significantly via context.

I don't know...what of it? I still like people, I still like things. Thumb and heart icons on social media haven't changed how or what I like.

Semantically, I generally understand a person who says they "liked" a thing to mean the social media verb. Context also makes it pretty clear.
