Yes, this is effectively a spam folder. I don't see how that's Facebook's fault.

Facebook placed their last message to me about changes to their own privacy policy into this folder!

It looks like it works just fine then.

If the message if from a non-spammy, active account, why bury it?

Facebook KISS: everything that isn't from friends or friends of friends is spam

Twitter KISS: nothing is spam.

They've poorly defined spam. That's their fault.
