  2. Google Checkout needed for spamming by Animats · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Google Checkout is the payment scheme of choice for Craigslist spammers. Some other payment processors have kicked off spam tool vendors, but spammers have found a friendly welcome with Google. Google also supplies spammers with free e-mail accounts in bulk. Google's YouTube runs ads and videos from spammers. Google's Blogger provides free hosting for spam and redirection sites. It's full-service evil.

    Google has clearly gone over to the dark side. They're not just an innocent victim. Google Checkout is laundering spammer money and taking a cut. Google AdWords is accepting ads from spammers. The dark side generates revenue for Google.

    Yes. Given the quality of slashdot editors, I'm betting the spell checker would beat them up first and make them beg for it.
