[Junk]Fax.com Fined $5.4 Million

Posted by michael on from the sometimes-you-do-get-what-you-deserve dept.

Satanboy writes "This article states that a record $5.4m fine was levied on Fax.com after blatantly ignoring requests by the FCC to discontinue the activity of sending unsolicited faxes. This is similar to actions CmdrTaco posted about earlier." The people at junkfax.org are apparently planning a large class-action suit against fax.com as well.

    But what if they sent color faxes? I hear you can do that now. Then, I suppose the 'fax' of the case wouldn't be so black and white...

    I too have seen the Department of Social Services go after a suspected child abuser. And I know for a fact that the accusations weren't true.

    Anyway, they (DSS) said, "We'd rather wrongly take a thousand children away from their parents than let one child abuser go free."
