Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) has announced strict measures to counter spammers even resorting to court action against those that use fake “likes” on the website. The measure from Facebook seems reasonable considering that such nasty activities are not good for the business. The company said that if the technical solutions are not enough than court action would be another resort.
