TechCrunch founder and editor Michael Arrington and Facebook advertising guru Dennis Yu scored a couple victories for the Good Guys this week by forcing decisive action from MySpace along with Social Gaming platforms RockYou and Zynga.
Arrington started the ball rolling with Scamville: The Social Gaming Ecosystem of Hell and Yu pushed the gas pedal to the floor with, How To Spam Facebook Like A Pro: An Insider’s Confession.
The result of these searing indictments of sleaze is that MySpace publicly flagellated these scammers, toughen up their TOC for applications and advertisers and pledged to get serious about enforcement.
Maybe Facebook, Google Adwords/Adsense and Yahoo will follow suit and get serious about cleaning up the scams.
