Declan on Spam

2001-03-30 21:12:29+02 by Larry Burton 0 comments

Declan McCullagh gets accussed of being a spammer which prompts an interesting article by him on Politechbot.

It's clear that spam is getting worse. Ancedotal evidence suggests the volume is increasing, and I wrote an article recently saying that more spam is coming from overseas. What's more, reliable sources tell me it's unlikely that the House bill that the Commerce committee approved this week will go anywhere. "It's going to be ambushed on Judiciary," one source says, and apparently just about all the staffers who successfully steered the bill through the House last year have left the Hill.
