It Takes Two Days To Realize Spam Is A Tough Problem?
from the get-over-it dept
The FTC is holding their E-mail Authentication Summit, and tried to start day 2 by saying that, even if it's hard, spam can be defeated. Unfortunately, no one told the panelists -- as one after another sounded the defeatest note about how impossible it was to stop spam. Sounds like it must have been a great conference for uplifting the spirits of... well... the 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
