Facebook & Myspace Taking Some Spammers To Court
kevinqtipreedy writes "Social networks like Facebook and Myspace are now bringing spammers into the court systems in new attempts to put a stop to it. Although spammers rarely show up in court and the suits do not always lead to monetary reward, companies are hoping the 'chilling effect' will help in the effort to curb spam."
Just like it is helping to curb e-mail spam ....
Are you a criminal? Now you can join the social network just for criminals, Jailspace! It's never been easier to meet other sexual predators pretending to be underage girls, or conspire to commit fraud with our incredibly easy networking features.
Well action in the courts has stopped everyone sharing music, so this is clearly a strategy with a great deal of merit.
