- chopin24 6y agoSpam can be blocked, though, right? Edit: To address the commenter below, Congress has addressed spam before, in the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
- MattGaiser 6y agoOk, so the rule is now: Only content that is literally illegal or is spam would be removed. See where this is going? It is hard to craft rules that allow everything without leaving a site unusable.

- nip180 6y agoImagine a spam filter for social media. I actively want this.
- chopin24 6y agoThere's already a law that says advertising messages have to be labelled as such (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN-SPAM_Act_of_2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN-SPAM_Act_of_2003). Shouldn't be too challenging. Is anyone really going to violate the law on a government website?
