That's a great way to lose users though. They need to provide some limit for abuse. That means either good moderation tools for end-user (which I don't see how they could scale without also providing bad-people-lists) or moderation on their side. Otherwise you end up with /b/ or worse.
If they want their users (and advertisers) to stay, they need to filter content. They're social networks, not limited-scope opt-in party lines.
