AOL is the biggest hypocrites on this deal. But the fact is they are a large company, with many lobbyist, so they will get what they want.

Not only do they sell their list, but they also spam through 3rd parties - I get a few a week, and they flood your mailbox with their CDs....
that's what's fucked about this, we won't end up with less spam, it will just come from different companies


this is totally bizaare & shocked the hell out of me ...
in the city yesterday, there's a park just on the edge of the cbd, there was a yahoo van thing, one of those big portable things that has computers in it ... it was painted bright purple with yahoo all over it ... there was a table set up with petitions on it to send to the government to pass a bill against spam. the 'van' was also promoting some new yahoo spam filter system ...

i wanted to go up and inform the volunteers they picked the right (or wrong, whichever way you look at it) city to start this campaign in
