FTC Moves up "Do Not Call" List Registration

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the finally-phase-2-explained dept.

tbase writes "AdAge.com has an article about the new FTC "Do-Not-Call" List which will be opening for registrations earlier than previously announced. The FTC Press Release says online registration will be available "on or around July 1." and that "Companies will face an $11,000 fine for each telemarketing call that violates the FTC's new consumer-protection provisions.""

    Or you could just feed the assholes to lions. It worked for the romans.

    See, that's what they WANT, though - if you're a religious nut, you dream of being a martyr. Don't give them the pleasure!

    - it's my phone and I'm paying for the service. With that in mind it's perfectly reasonable to assume that I get to decide who gets to call. If I tell someone to fuck off, then they better damn well fuck off.

    again, i say sure it's your phone, but why the hell are you buying a phone and service for said phone that runs on an inheriantly flawed system. GET A PHONE THAT DOESN'T ALLOW SPAM! the same for your email! you mean they're not out there? sounds like a good business opportunity. until the next method for mass marketing comes along.

    i'm curious; where's that law requiring property owners to have a mail box on every property we own? i know of lots of small cities where the mail isn't delivered, but everyone has a box in the downtown office.
