To some extent this is a self-inflicted problem by companies seeking to be--and permitted to become--global quasi-monopolies.

Not really; pretty much any service that will allow contacting random people will have the shit abused out of it.

And to be clear: what happened is that she was prevented from sending more share links after sending 80 or so of them, with "spicy" content. She wasn't "locked out". Title is wrong. This is basic spam filtering, which does have the occasional false positive.
