Don’t Celebrate yet…
December 10th, 2003
Well, CAN-SPAM has been passed, but as I noted previously, this new bill soon to be signed by Bush will likely amount to nothing. All a spammer has to do is move operations overseas–which most have already done–and they avoid the new laws. But no doubt Bush will make a big deal about it. Watch your wallets–ironically, the new law may actually increase spam, by way of such things as encouraging people to add their names to “opt-out” lists, which in fact just gives spammers a list of new addresses to spam. Morons.org also has a nice commentary on it.
