UK Criminalizes Spam

by on

According to a BBC News article from September 18: “The UK has made spam a criminal offence to try to stop the flood of unsolicited messages. Under the new law, spammers could be fined £5,000 in a magistrates court or an unlimited penalty from a jury.” This law comes via the Minister of State for Energy, e-Commerce and Postal Services, Stephen Timms.
