They link to their key at:

Surprised that nobody has generated a private key with a UID containing an abusive or self promoting real name/comment, signed Facebooks key with it and uploaded the signature to the keyservers yet. Tempted to sign it with a key with a real name of:

"Software Developer / SysAdmin for hire. See https://mywebsite"

I guess at that point I'd be permanently branded a spammer though. ;)



Well, someone tried putting an ASCII goatse in there. I suppose that counts as "abusive."


How would that be spam? Aren't the keyservers intended to act as repositories for signed keys?


He'd be posting ads via signed keys. Not an actual usable signed key.


Is that already a problem? If not, I don't see how FB having a key changes anything.


Just a high profile key which people are going to look at, that is all.


Aaaand now pgp.mit.edu is down :)
