When the Travel Channel's Nisha Chittal launched her public profile on Facebook Subscribe, she looked forward to connecting with a community that shared her wanderlust and passion for social media.

Instead, she got sexually explicit messages, pornographic photos, and spammy, irrelevant messages from thousands of users around the world.

"It was coming at such a high volume - I was seeing messages every few minutes from these random men," Chittal said. "For every one or two legitimate comments, I would get 20 from creepy men who would say weird or strange or sexual things."
