FTC Sues Six In Spam Round-Up
from the keep-'em-coming dept
The FTC continues its attempt to explain to spammers that they're breaking the law by suing six more spammers. Of course, they're mostly being sued for unfair trade practices (meaning that they lie in their spams) instead of the act of spamming itself which still remains blissfully legal at the federal level. Some of the spammers were simply sending out pyramid scheme spams, and the FTC says they sent warning letters to another 100 similar spammers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
