A friend once mourned that she got too many spam mails. I recommended her a throwaway e-mail service via a private Facebook message. FB blocked my message telling me that I can not send it as it includes a dangerous link.
I made a screenshot of this response and wanted to share that instead. The funny thing is that in the screenshot, FBs red comment re: the dangerous link was so blurry that you could not read it. I guess this was probably due to a compression algorithm they apply on pictures but it is funny that the rest of the message was easily readable in the screenshot.

- merlincorey 11y agoYes, even if you send a high quality PNG image to facebook, they will convert it to a low quality JPG. This is especially bad for things with text. See: http://lbrandy.com/blog/2008/10/my-first-and-last-webcomic/ http://lbrandy.com/blog/2008/10/my-first-and-last-webcomic/
