Should Your Employer Block Your Spam?
from the trying-to-sell-more-anti-spam-software? dept
It shouldn't be surprising to discover that a study done by an anti-spam company that is trying to sell more anti-spam software to corporations has come up with a study saying employees believe their employers should be responsible for spam, but it seems like a strange sort of survey anyway -- clearly designed more for marketing purposes than anything else. Almost anyone would say that whoever is responsible for their mail server is likely to have some responsibility in trying to cut out spam. At home, that's your ISP. At work, that's your employer's IT department.
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
