What I don't understand is why this is considered spam. Are lots of people not allowed to talk about the same thing?

- lozenge 8y agoI can think of a couple of possible explanations: 1. Viral content like "share this or Facebook will delete your account" - may as well shut that down straight away. 2. A security flaw in a Facebook site that lets malicious websites post to your wall automatically from a webpage. In that case, the malicious website will probably post a link to itself, so that it can collect more victims. In this case, this limits the impact of the flaw. Look at the Samy worm as an example. 3. News feed algorithm "breaks" in some way when a lot of people are posting the same thing, so they just prevent that from happening.
