Facebook sets new rules to charge US$100 to send messages to celebrities. Since December 2012, Facebook, the largest social networking site in the United States, has conducted a new charging experiment. It will cost US$100 to send an on-site message to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg or celebrities of the same level as him. Some analysts believe that Facebook’s move is another “asking for money” offensive from its 1 billion users. The person in charge of Facebook responded that this method is to try "to use economic signals to define the importance of information." The person in charge also said that for VIP users who receive paid information, this function automatically filters spam for them. If they receive a strange message, it means that a stranger really has something important to ask them.
