Next up FB to charge you a dollar to block those unwanted messages from coming into your inbox.

This sounds like Facebook is looking to make a profit off of spammers, to the detriment of the rest of us. Think about it, who are the ONLY people that would want to GUARANTEE their message makes it to a stranger's screen? Facebook rakes in the bucks and we end up with more spam.

Can users get fined every time they send unwanted game invites?!

It seems like you spam someone you don't know for a dollar!

That'd cost too much for spammers. $1 a message. It'd have to be like $0.0001 per message.

I quit that social network!!

Isn't quiting already paying ? I failed to quit my Japanese account, that bugged whenever I tried. They got on my nerves a while ago, new privacy breaches every month. I could empty it as it was linked to a free mail box created just for it. The mail box has since burst with spam. Worst web service I've ever known,

I've come to really depend on Facebook for my business (J-List), we just crossed 70,000 "likes" on our page. Fearful that they'll start nickel-and-diming us to the point that we have to say no thanks.

I use J-List a lot. I haven't bothered to "like" J-List on FB at all. Also, the tissue pack I get with each order is nice. Now, you need to hit me up with a J-List version of those delivery health posters you see wired to power/telelphone poles.
