Anti-Spam Agency Investigates Self For Spamming
from the ooops dept
The Australian Communications Authority is charged with dealing with the spam problem, but they might want to start by cleaning up their own house. Employees working at the agency reported that they received unwanted pornographic and racist emails from a manager. They've hired some outside contractors to help handle the investigation. Of course, some may claim that such emails aren't necessarily "spam", but it still says something about how people there view email.
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
