This is insane.
Spammers should now be linking to a site and then telling the site owners, "If you want to get your Google rank back, pay us $1000 to take our links down."

- adventured 12y agoYou can disavow links via webmaster tools. The onus should not be on the innocent site however, that's bad engineering design by Google.
