Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail

Talaria writes "The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy is reporting that two new laws in Utah and Michigan are going into effect next week, creating 'do not email' registries for children's email addresses. According to ISIPP, 'Email marketers who send unpermitted messages to email addresses or domains on the child protection registries in Michigan and Utah face stiff penalties including prison and fines.'" (Note that ISIPP has a vested interest in publicizing these laws, since they offer a service intended to establish that senders are in fact within the law.)

Slashdot's American Flag Icon

[Anonymous Coward]

Why are there only 12 stripes in it? The flag has 13. Slashdot needs to fix this.

It's very disrespectful to the flag and the people who died for it.

You send Mormon missionaires overseas to change the culture

They are probably already there - they go where the money is. China probably is unlikely to go easily on confidence tricksters who hide behind religeon since they have no fear of oppressing religeous groups that threaten the status quo - so send them and the scientologists too while you are at it.

I thought I understood the USA - then I met some mormons and scientologists.

I have to ask what Yorkshire is really like. I'm from Teh USA, so I've never been there. But all I hear about is that they're a very backwards region, in basically every way possible. I've even heard some people go so far as to say that Yorkshire is resonsible for a lot of the decay in the United Kingdom today. Are those claims true, or are they just overgeneralizations based on the actions of a select few individuals?
