Pardon me for being naive, but as social networking sites that attract millions of users should this be happening to them? I dont know much about programming or even much about how the internet works but If these guys really decide to create problems, it seems to me that it can be done easily (well maybe not all the time), but it could have been worst and us users would be recipients of viral issue (so to speak). If I'm wrong someone please correct me.
