a Spam bot, from an ico called ubex approached my trying to sell me their token, hidden as a person.

these icos and their advertisement gets ruder and ruder, i hope adbloggers can arm up against that.

this might be the end of social media. and open societies as we know them

as advertisement via fake people might truly annoy the experience of users
There is a constant battle between social networks and people who choose to abuse them. This is nothing new. The spammers have just found a new way to get past measures set in place to stop them. I'm surprised that they don't give up. Please report the messages to the administration of your social network. If we're talking about Facebook, they do a great job at filtering spam for the most part. My filtered messages tab is full of crap. I never see them in the actually inbox though. I'm sure it won't take long for social networks to got on top of any new spamming techniques.
