CAN-SPAM Is A Bust

Posted by timothy on from the hundreds-per-day-here dept.

Doc Ruby writes "The Congressional chatter about 'canning spam', in the CAN-SPAM law since January, has turned out to really mean 'they can still spam'. TechWeb News reports that 'In July, compliance fell for the first time under one percent to a measly 0.54 percent', from its 3% max. The researchers claim the ball has been dropped by 'law enforcement'. Those police are probably too busy deleting the 80% spam from their email, like everyone else."

    I propose they add a vigilante provision that allows anonymous receivers of SPAM to seek out and beat the shit out of anyone found to be sending SPAM.
