With the rise of spam becoming an even larger problem and social networking becoming a very popular avenue for spammers to now scam people and trick people into following links that lead them to sites that redirect to yet another site to force them to install malicious content to their computers in the back ground without them knowing and stealing their bank info or passwords and then hijacking their facebook account ..

However I think it is hindered by how they want all information public and that only leads to attracting even more scammers.</p> I can see why they blocked it.
