China Blocks Spam Servers

Posted by timothy on from the compulsion-repulsion dept.

clafarge writes "I just read in the AP's LiveWire that, as reported by Xinhua News Agency, China has blocked 127 mail servers which it identifies as major sources of spam. Oh, happy day. They also published a list of 225 spam servers around the world just last month." Guess they're following through on this.

    If a US ISP did this they would get sued. Well F*ck the spammers. CHina has the right Idea here.

    ...and I did nothing up because I was not a spammer.

    Then they came for the white hat hackers, and I did nothing because I was not a white hat hacker.

    Then they came for the file-traders, and I did nothing because I was not a file-trader.

    Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up.

    Or worse, what if all the blocked IPs get together and form a counter-internet and they all start trading kiddie porn and whatnot. What then? People need to think these decisions through more carefully.

    You are right. Sending me email is a privilege, NOT a right. My bandwidth, heck my mail server, my network, my workstation, my time.

    I suppose you are one of those TMDA using assholes as well.

    Yeah! And since justice needs to scale, thieves and robbers will not only be executed, but so will their next of kin. Rapists and murderers will see their hometown blown to ashes (the Israelis can provide insights on how to do this).
