We didn’t solve e-mail spam
- OJFord 4y agoUnless you mean 'so we should jail more of them', GP's making the same point. (Not 'I didn't get where I am today by' tone as I initially read it and suspect you may have.)
- NegativeLatency 4y agoNo, not suggesting jail, just lamenting I get daily spam through my gmail and other email accounts. Not to mention the recruiter spam that would be basically impossible to stop. Robocalling seems like a much more tractable problem to solve though.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI believe email spam and Robocalling should both be subject to harsh punishments, even more so if it is sexually explicit spam being sent to minors.
- akimball 4y agoIf you murder someone, you go away. If you rob 100 million people of 0.00001% of their life, you just did the equivalent of 100 murders. Seems no less criminal to me - in fact more so.
- fallingknife 4y agoSeems pretty solved to me, at least for hard spam. The soft spam of useless marketing messages from companies that do have a legitimate reason to have my contact info is a harder problem.
- paintman252 4y agoWe actually did. My gmail get's none
- thaumasiotes 4y agoBut gmail accomplished that by refusing to deliver legitimate mail too. It's worse than the spam floods we used to have.
- NegativeLatency 4y agoMy gmail regularly gets spam
