Facebook bans sponsored status updates
In proposed changes to Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, users will be banned from selling status updates or using their profiles for commercial gain.Facebook also plans to ban pyramid schemes, denial of service attacks, and make users responsible for content they publish to everyone. The policy will become official after a week-long feedback period.
This looks like a good move on Facebook's part. Sponsored updating is the primary issue I have with Twitter at the moment (and forms the greater part of my spam count).
It will be interesting to see how this will be policed and whether this will impact overall "social media" brand activity on the network.
