Facebook spammer fined $1 billion for over 4 million posts

There's been a lot of complaining from the (now) former subscribers of Facebook, who had discovered their tons of spam to be actually coming through their Facebook accounts. Many have suspended their subscriptions; I read here the real answer.

Also, if the guy in question actually "hacked" other folks' accounts, was it due to his superfluous knowledge and fine skills, or, not unlikely, due to some poor realisation of security mechanisms on the portals in question?

I think the very idea behind Facebook is insecure. Cause, unless it be somebody you know for sure is your friend, there's no tellin who it is there offering his friendships... Then, if you have your friend's email, you won't need no Facebook to keep communicating.
