facebook declares myLot™ post to be 'spam' / myLot

And you know what is really messed up?

The post was shared in a myLot group

I guess it was the content of the post. It wasn't dealing with trying to sell anything, or joining a site, or anything like that. What it said was Mark Zuckerberg should give every facebook user a couple thousand dollars...which, when you think about it, is hilarious since Mark doesn't have the money to do that.

Zuckerberg is worth approximately $71.8 billion dollars. facebook has 2 billion users. Simply giving each of them $36 comes to $72 billion dollars...more than Mark is worth.

So I thought it was funny and 'shared' it. Nope. facebook didn't think it was funny...they thought it was spam.

And happy Monday morning to everyone here.

You stepped on the feet of Mr Zuckerberg it seems. In my opinion it was funny.

@JolietJake This would be interesting to know. Surely how much Zuckerberg owns s not a mystery.

A first proof that myLot is a threat for Facebook

. Continue to work in that direction, a good next step would be to ask to inter-nationalize FB and confiscate the money of Mark to distribute it to the members

It would be nice if we could at least earn a penny in facebook

like here in mylot but if paying the users is worth more than his money then it's a very big no no for Zuckerberg

That is still going around Facebook. I heard that he was giving people money years ago. What a laugh!

And FB tagged it as such because Mark was afraid to give out his money. Or should say, he doesn't have that amount.

They most likely marked it as spam because it was not very complimentary to Zuckerberg. Most places do not take kindly to having their founders made fun of even if it was good intentioned.
