Spam problems undermining email usage:
Pew Trust study
10/29/2003 12:11 AM
According to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life
Project , spam problems are growing as concerns for large numbers
of email users.
In large numbers, Internet users report that they trust email less and
some even use email less because of spam.
Female users tend to be more bothered
by spam than males.
The erosion of trust in email, leading to quick deletes, suspicion
of communication from strangers, fear of lost valid messages, and
concealing one's email address, especially for
personal email accounts away from work, might be the biggest effect
of this "critical mass" of spam.
This study's results came as no surprise to many netizens.
However, the research is
recent and surveys a broad audience .

Recently China's been cracking down on the
Internet something fierce (I can recommend some links if you're
interested in posting on that -- it hasn't gotten any western press
coverage yet) and well, I'm tired of being babysat by the celestial
nanny if you know what I mean.
I'm desperate. I can't read blogspot blogs, nor Typepad blogs, nor the
BBC, nor a lot of other sites without going through a crummy,
inaccurate work-around: Web-based proxies. They, in turn, get blocked
or else simply don't work period.
I have a list of a few China-based bloggers who are interested in a
permanent, complete work around. We would need a server set up outside
of China that could handle SSL and that would let us access the entire
Internet without any problems. Only "westerners" are on this (short)
list, as we don't think it's wise to involve Chinese nationals for
obvious reasons. I had just such a system set up for me by a friend
that worked beautifully.
I was wondering if you could help. Maybe someone you know would
volunteer to provide a haven for a select number of us.
For an Internet sleuth like myself not being able to access these
sites is like saying I'm not allowed to read.
Ideas?

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While

05/24/2004 05:37 PMThe latest study on spam trends appears to show that
financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam
- though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really
hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that
porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers
have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter
what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to
slow down the amount of spam sent.

Spammer Complies With CAN-SPAM, Claims
ISPs Should Not Filter His Spam
05/20/2004 07:05 PMRonnie Scelson is one of the shortlist of spammers who just seems to
love publicity. While many spammers like to hide away, Scelson's
always willing to talk. He testified before the Senate Commerce
Committee today, claiming that he is now
compl
ying with CAN-SPAM, but threatened to ignore the law if not enough
of his spam messages were getting through filters. He actually has
the audacity to complain that now that CAN-SPAM is in effect, ISPs
should be
required to let his mail through. Maybe the filters
are a little to thick around his head and the message isn't getting
through to him: the
reason his spam is filtered is because
people don't want it.
CAN SPAM Designed To Make Congressmen
Look Good - Not Stop Spam
CAN SPAM Designed To Make Congressmen
Look Good - Not Stop Spam
01/07/2004 06:36 PMWe all know now that the CAN SPAM law is a disaster and is unlikely to
do anything useful in the battle against spam. It's also becoming
clear that the entire point of the bill was never to stop spam, but to
make a few folks in Congress look good (which seems to be the entire
point of most politics these days). First, Business Week spends some
time
comparing the mostly effective federal "Do Not Call"
list with CAN SPAM. The DNC list was planned out carefully by the
FTC and the FCC, and, while it upset many telemarketers, it was
designed in a way to be effective. There was also enough time, and
enough publicity given to the list that people knew about it and had
the opportunity to sign up for it - while marketers had the ability to
prepare on their end as well. With CAN SPAM, however, it was rushed
through Congress with little thought towards whether or not it would
actually do anything
and without any money to actually deal
with any of these cases. Meanwhile, the NY Times reports that the
sponsors of the bill
asked the FTC to
sue a spammer the very first week the bill was in effect in order
to make a big "splash" so they could pat themselves on the back - even
as the spam levels continued to increase. FTC Chair Timothy Muris
(who has spoken out
against
this spam law) apparently laughed them off and pointed out it was
impossible to do such a thing. First of all, in order to violate the
law, the spammers have to ignore an opt-out request. Then, the FTC
would have to track down who the actual spammer was - with no
additional funds, because the law didn't provide for them.

AOL Falls In Love With The Wrong Spam
Stats -- Says Spam Decreased
12/27/2004 01:32 PMAOL is claiming that their new spam filter has greatly reduced spam,
creating
nice looking headlines about less
spam. Of course, you could question their findings. The details
show that what was reduced was
spam complaints. This
might be a proxy for the amount of spam that got through to
inboxes, or it might just show that AOL subscribers have wised up and
realized that reporting spam to AOL doesn't seem to do a bit of good
-- and they've just given up on it.
California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Make It Harder To Do Business
California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Make It Harder To Do Business
11/03/2003 11:40 PMI get inundated with more and more spam every day, and it's
frustrating as anything. I want it to stop. However, if politicians
insist on passing bad legislation in their attempts to stop spam,
that's not going to do any good. I've already complained about the
new
California legislation and it looks like I'm not alone. A guy who
runs a consulting firm and writes for Business Week points out
why California's anti-spam law won't do a thing about
spam, but will make life more difficult for legitimate small
businesses. He describes a situation where he did a very targeted
mailing for a company. It's probably up to your definition of spam as
to whether or not you consider his mailing spam. I tend to draw the
line on whether or not the mailing was "bulk" - which it sounds like
his was. I believe that if the email is truly targeted and
personalized about a potential business relationship, then it's hard
to call it spam. The California law disagrees. In fact, the sponsor
of the bill claims that any email contact between two companies is not
legitimate if it hasn't been initiated under some other form. That's
simply ridiculous. As I've said before, plenty of "commercial"
websites contact Techdirt every day about the possibility of
partnerships or links. Under California's anti-spam law, I could
charge them with spam. I recently heard from a major technology
magazine, asking if I would add them to my Quicklinks box. Should I
sue them for spam? According to the law, I could.
