FTC's CAN-SPAM Act
I am sure now that the CAN-SPAM Act went into effect yesterday I didn't get a message titled "BEST HARDCORE TEEN PORN SITE ON THE INTERNET!" without the magical "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT" in the subject line.
Oh, wait, I DID get that email today. And I am sure I will get something like that tomarrow, next week, and next year. I am not sure it falls under the CAN-SPAM Act, but I also got a spam for "V|AgR@", "Grow your manhood", and www.lapdate.info. Those are not really explicit, but its not stuff you want reaching a kid's inbox.
If 71% of spam comes from China, isn't it pretty stupid to believe that CAN-SPAM is going to fix anything.
