Ladies and gentlemen, let's get this fixed. Spam is not only a waste of resources (bandwidth, time, and money) but it also contributes to malware distribution.
What will it take to accomplish this?
- paulddraper 10y agoOverturning the first amendment. Unfortunately, it protects lots of speech, good and bad.
- ubernostrum 10y agoRestrictions on commercial solicitation don't generally have First Amendment problems.
- paulddraper 10y agoIt routinely restricts the amount of restriction.
- greenokapi 10y agoYeah, this probably isn't going to encounter first amendment issues. It's much more likely that corporate lobbying will be the cause of any resistance to changing the law.
