Huge fine for distributing spam on Facebook

A U.S. federal court has imposed a fine of 360.5 million dollars (265 million euros) to be responsible for distributed 7.2 million unsolicited commercial emails (spam) to members of Facebook. The network points out in his statement on the ruling is not the first time we have successfully responsible for spam before the courts.

In 2008 and 2009 were the judgments for the same reason against other companies worth 637 million euros and 519 million. Facebook had received the last year more than eight thousand spam complaints from members of the network and over four thousand chose to deactivate their account.
