Lots Of People Reporting Spammers Under UK Law
from the but,-now-what dept
Just ahead of the US's spamming law, the UK has had their spamming law go into effect. It has different problems than the US law, but most people still feel it will do little to stop spam. In the meantime, though, there was a bit of pent up demand, as the agency set up to deal with spam complaints was inundated with people reporting spam. Now comes the real test: what will they do about the complaints and will that do anything at all to stop spam?
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
