FTC vs. Open Relays, round 2

mbrain writes "PC World is reporting on a new federal program run by the FTC to close relays and proxies that serve as spam gateways. It's called 'Operation Secure Your Server'. The FTC will publicize this program by... sending tens of thousands of emails." I think it's a continuation of this program.

  1. Please stop pointing out the FTC is US only (d'uh) by maggard · · Score: 5, Informative
    For those not literate enough to read the linked story (yet apparently compulsively posting here) let me quote the second sentence(emphasis mine):
    The FTC and 36 other government agencies from 26 countries have launched Operation Secure Your Server.
    All of those who have already posted inane comments about the US's FTC not having extra-territorial jurisdiction, and the fools who moderated them up, are now asked to read the original article out loud to themselves and in the future refrain from posting until they're sure they're not making public asses of themselves.
