> So what FB is doing there is preventing a single (tenant) entity from ruining the experience, and this is laudable.

the user has been in charge from the start, they can remove it from their stream or simply 'unlike' or unsubscribe

what fb did is nothing more than a cash-grab and it will come back to haunt them

...or he can stop using fb, loss for fb

It's not a matter of simply "unliking" the page, sure, I've done that to a couple of annoying pages, but fb is interested in its product as a whole.

Also, I haven't seen content being hidden in most pages (you can always check the page and all the content is there), of course, the abusers have been 'unliked' by me already (but this is not what most people do)
