The impact of spam
More on the impact of spam on business, from the Washington Post. I don’t believe we can just ban spam altogether, to try to filter out every unexpected mail, or email would be useless for contacting people, and that’s what it’s all about. Banning email that cannot be traced back to its sender is hard too – again, the anonymity of the internet is one of its strengths. But when people exploit these features of the internet in this way and send porn emails to young children, then perhaps it is time to give up those anonymous aspects of the internet to make it safe and spam-free for all of us. Sad but true.
