More Rules On How To Spam... This Time For Porn Spammers
from the uh...-isn't-spam-supposed-to-be-illegal-now? dept
Wait just a second. A month ago, we were hearing stories from our elected officials about how spam was supposed to be dead dead dead by now, thanks to the "CAN SPAM" law which would make it illegal to spam. Of course, as we all know, the law wasn't really intended to stop spam at all, but rather to give instructions on how you can spam. Further evidence of that comes today as the FTC is actually releasing new rules for porn spammers on how to spam. They're telling them they need to include a special label. In other words, they can just keep on spamming - as long as they include that one little label. Great way to "stop" spam, huh?

Taking bets...
Who wants to bet that we'll see the label as "Sexua11y Exp1ic1t Con7ent" and other such obvious mispellings to still get by spam filters?
