Facebook Has Deleted 5 to 10M Links to Competing Social Network
- smt88 11y agotl;dr Tsu is a spammy site with potential malware. It also failed to pay out to some of its users. It seems generally shady, and Facebook was right to block it. Most of that info I got from the article, but I also Googled a bit. Tsu had problems with spam on its own site, and it was also likely spamming Facebook, which its founder admits in the article. There's also some evidence that Tsu.co or its advertisers were distributing malware[1]. 1. https://plus.google.com/+UgoCei/posts/2qXF7tFMCHK https://plus.google.com/+UgoCei/posts/2qXF7tFMCHK

- minimaxir 11y agoI was surprised the ZDNet left out the MLM implications of the model until the disclosure: > Disclosure: I joined Tsu as a user to take a look at the site before I wrote about the platform in 2014 and I still use the platform regularly. That's a damn fair use of a disclosure.

- staticautomatic 11y agoI was more surprised by the fact that ZDNet still exists than I was by the content of the article.
