[liberationtech] Facebook Allows You to Pay $1 to Message Anyone

[Rich Kulawiec]

I rather suspect that this is prelude to Facebook monetizing the suckers
again by charging advertizers bulk rates, e.g., $350K to hit 1M users,
where the 1M are targeted a selected based on information in FB's databases.
Once the billing infrastructure is in place (and it sounds like it already
is) then it's just a matter of offering pricing that's attractive enough.
(And excusing this by offering opt-out on a per-sender basis, so that it's
onerous and ineffective.)

Mark Zuckerberg is Sanford Wallace v2.0.
