France Launches Anti-Spam Platform

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the more-blacklists dept.

njondet writes "French-law.net reports that the French government has just launched 'Signal Spam', an anti-spam platform created in association with public entities and private companies, such as Microsoft. Internet users will be able to report spam messages by mailing them to this platform which will act as a centralised monitor of spamming activities. The platform will generate a blacklist and help initiate prosecutions against spammers."

    Is that what we have to call them now?

    And in case you didn't know, the French for "spam" is pourriel - at least that's what http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam redirects to.

    are you refering to the same united states that i know? the place where everyone walks around looking at the ground because they're too ashamed/afraid to possibly look others (who, coincidentally, are looking down) in the face? the people are too scared to stand up to their borderline tyrannical government? the place where people are sick of all the lies and want out, but won't leave because they don't know any other languages and can't afford to move internationally?

    this must be 2 different places...
