Spam Haters Given Right of Reply

rk_cr wrote to mention an Israeli technology firm which has set up a system to allow harried email users the right to reply in force. The system "batters spam websites with thousands of complaints. The plan is to fill order forms on spam websites offering pills, porn and penile health tonics with complaints about the products advertised for sale in junk messages. The plan has been criticised by other anti-spam workers who say it amounts to vigilantism."

Vigilantes arise when there is no authority, or when authority is corrupt and part of the problem.


If someone rapes your mom, and you go kill the guy instead of calling the police, you are a vigilante. That has nothing to do with corrupt authority or no authority.

Your argument has just been dismantled. Have a nice day.
