Switzerland Isn't Neutral Toward Spam

    not just the sender of the spam but those who benefit from it targeted.

    It's about freaking time. If cigarette companies are responsible for advertising practices by an agent of the company, why shouldn't this apply to Spam?

    So...when can we expect something like this to trickle down to the home of the DEA^H^H^Hfree?
