How do you propose to prevent spam and abuse of this open federated chat network?

Realistically it would have to work the same way as spam filtering does for email.

Come to think of it, it's surprising that spamming is not more prevalent on SMS networks, because it's the same kind of federated system. But I guess access may be gated well enough and enforcement strong enough to prevent that.

SMS spam is common in Europe.
