Default Facebook testing $100 charge to send messages to strangers

Not sure to put this here or in the Tech subforum, but oh well. Guess this is another way to monetize the Facebook. "If it is free - you are the product."

Some Facebook users have seen an unusual popup when they attempt to send messages to people outside their network. It notes that the message will be filtered, but offers to deliver it to the top of the recipient's inbox anyway — for a cool $100.

Mashable reported seeing $100 as the fee to send a message to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, but other users have seen the same price for non-billionaires.
