Spamhaus Opening New Branch in China

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the inbox-mine-sweeper dept.

Eggplant62 writes "ChinaTechNews.com is reporting that Steve Linford's Spamhaus.org will open operations with the help of Chinese government officials and ISP's in order to remove spammers operating servers on China's portion of the Internet. For years, China's unwitting ignorance of the spam issues they have with the rest of the world has been a major stumbling block in the fight to control spammers who operate from the netblocks of foreign nations. Seeing China take steps to help the world curb the scourge of junk email has me cheering all the way. Go Steve!"

  1. How do you know the justice in China? by www.sorehands.com · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    When I was in China, I didn't see the police beating people on every street corner or strip seaching everyone in a bank.

    What about the secret courts, and all the other violations under the patriot act.


    We in the USA do not have the corner on justice or human rights.

    But when the Chinese government "cracked down" on Google, that was bad.

    So when it's for our convenience, it's OK?

    Now that's just silly. China doesn't kill all their female newborns any more. Now they are raised in massive state orphanages so they can be sold off to US families for hard currency.
