Out of interest. What’s stopping the bot makers just auto creating facebook accounts and then using them to log into many websites? I can’t imagine engineering account creation, confirmation and even cross account friending and status updates would be any harder than navigating through forum security.

adding captcha? lol, never!

Doesn’t facebook have captcha in place to stop the bots registering? Basically FB is doing the leg work of weeding out the bots for him
