We all know about spam and how annoying it is but its something that I believe will always be around. The most annoying is defiantly Facebook spam when someone writes on your wall and they are asking you to go check out a random site or buy ring tones. This article on E-Commerce News talks about a lawsuit that was one by Facebook and Myspace against notorious spammers. The articles says that Facebook won $711 million which is a lot of money the article goes on to explain that the large amount of money is a deterrent and that Facebook does not expect to receive the money but hopes that it discourages others from spamming and taking advantage of users to promote products. This is defiantly huge step in protecting users from unwanted and forced advertising. This lawsuit defiantly will deter some but the internet is global and there will always be someone else with the ability to affect all internet users with unwanted emails, ads and pop ups.
This is a great article
