Facebook Spammer Has To Pay $US711 Million
“Spam King” Sanford Wallace was just ordered to pay $US711 million in damages in a case about him spamming the hell out of Facebook users. Meanwhile, your idiot friends are still zombie-biting you.
While I’m all about stopping professional spammers, I find it amusing that this case revolved around Facebook. At this point, a good 75% of the messages I receive from that damned site are unwanted and annoying. Invites to shit from people I don’t know, annoying app pings and all the rest of it. Hell, it’s almost like Facebook is designed to send you annoying messages. That’s the whole point!
But yeah, anyways, nice work nailin’ the Spam King, guys. [CNNMoney]

Within Facebook you can change the settings to actually get it to e-mail you only when you want… Ie, new comments, replies to comments etc. You can totally stop it from e-mailing you… So the above is not entirely correct. Although I am not defending facebook! :)
