FTC Porn Spam Regulation Now in Effect

Posted by michael on from the kmail-filter-already-added dept.

gManZboy writes "The AP (through Yahoo) is reporting that the FTC is now requiring that all sexually explicit spam carry the wholly original 'SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT:' moniker in the subject line. I don't know why the porn industry is complaining about this, it seems like now everyone who really wants porn spam (not I!) can finally create a filter that delivers it to their inbox, highlighted, and bolded!" The FTC's regulation is available, and so is Slashdot's earlier story.

    it posts where the link is pointing too now, ass-hole. it baffles me why people like you think it is funny to link to that nastiness. Grow up, or get off-line. I swear you are acting no better than the spammers we are discussing here.

    The Bill Z. Bubb Road Maintenance Company is working hard to clear things out after hell freezes over and a slashdot editor comes out in favor of content filtering.
