Facebook & Myspace Taking Some Spammers To Court

Posted by timothy on from the why-can't-they-take-them-all dept.

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."

    ...Craigslist and Hot or Not next? You know, women never get these fake ads, but men do all the time. I told a couple of women about the fake ads we get, and they say they get nothing. I guess only men are stupid?

    Take it from someone that knows. Everyone that has ever had any dealings with Scott knows what a pos he is.

    It is Scott is a pos that was compromising peoples accounts. His excuse was "It's not me it's my affiliates" and it's a load of shit. I guess it's true in a sense as it wasn't him directly, but he fucking knew about it and didn't give a shit. Fuck him and his "company" media breakway, dynamic dolphin, etc.
