Obama Spam

It seems even President Obama can’t escape the spammers!

Some intrepid internet abusers have realised that Obama’s Facebook updates get tons of view so and in true opportunist spammy style, have started posting comments trying to send punters off to somewhere else. Even the Haiti disaster can’t escape the ‘free designer bags’ scam, these people clearly have no shame and no class.

It’s also interesting to note that the pioneering Obama social media team seem to have adopted a completely open stance on comment moderation (ie they leave everything up) which is really progressive and respectable considering some of highly emotional and sensitive topics he needs to cover as a president.

Me personally, I’d delete the spam.
