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."

    The CAN-SPAM Act is not a "bust", as the Slashdot story says. The CAN-SPAM Act does exactly what it was designed to do. It helps the spammers.

    The CAN-SPAM Act is part of extremely widespread corruption in the U.S. government. Even the 3 movies and 34 books linked in this article are not enough to tell the complete story: Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government.
