Because anything not from someone in my Facebook friends list is spam? Jesus, why didn't any of these anti-spam devices, programs, companies, etc think of it!

Jesus, why didn't any of these anti-spam devices, programs, companies, etc think of it! We'll just make a per user white list and be done with it!
Oh wait, that's a horrible idea, and you should feel bad.
- swang 14y agoI have no idea what you're actually referring to. I never said everything in the Other page is spam. I am saying they decided to dump any message that isn't your friend or (friend of friend) into the Others page, which solved for them problem of users seeing "spam" in their Messages page but created other problems.
- codemac 14y agoYou may never say that everything in the Other page is spam, but if you present moving all messages not from friends into a folder called Other to solve the spam problem... Either you're going to have a horrible false positive rate or a horrible false negative rate, because sender email address is a really poor feature to determine spam from ham.
