UK To Hold Public Enquiry On Spam

Posted by simoniker on from the obligatory-egg-and-beans-reference dept.

feepcreature writes "Is something going to be done about email spam at last? In the UK, the All Party Parliamentary Internet Group is to hold a public enquiry into spam. These politicians seem to understand the scale of the spam problem, and they are considering a new global level organization to deal with the Internet, as well as new laws, inter-government action and technical solutions. But will more international bodies help? Would laws work?"

    Of course, this could easily be implemented by the ISPs themselves, without any government interference. They don't do it, because they profit from spam. In that sense, it's just like TV commercials.
