Facebook, Microsoft, AOL putting spammers’ “heads on spikes”
Ok, they’re just prosecuting spammers for multi-million dollar judgements, that likely will never be collected… but it’s a great quote (and perfect for Halloween!). And the effect is hopefully equivalent to the head-spiking from long ago.
Ultimately, spam is bad for the internet, and it’s great to see companies with resources going after the spammers.
BTW, if you’re wondering, this is not a real head. :)
Happy Halloween!
