Inappropriate Spam Reaching Children?

Posted by simoniker on from the little-billy-offered-viagra dept.

peeweejd writes "Wired has an article stating that four out of five children receive inappropriate spam e-mail touting get-rich-quick schemes, and almost half receive spam linking to pornographic materials. Should spammers be held responsible for the spams they send out? Can someone sue a spammer for offering to sell 'adult only' items/services to children?" There are more details from survey originator Symantec's press release - and yes, Symantec does sell mail filtering software.

    In your state, does sexual education involve any of the thousands of farm sluts waiting for you to cum all over them. I'm sure you'd love for a complete stranger to educate your six year old daughter to the wonderful world of beastiality.

    Parents are to blame here. That's pretty much all there is to it.
