Is Googe Devaluing "Social Content" Links?

Can't say if they are actually doing this or not, but...

In order to protect their PR-centric ranking algo, IMHO, they should devalue - or, at least, keep under check - any 'platform' that has the potential to be abused for artificially inflating a site's link popularity.

Some such generally recognized (and devalued) platforms that readily come to mind are FFA pages, link farms, guestbooks....

May be Social Content (or Web 2.0) is next in the queue?
