Spam is a major irritant to internet users. Spam emails make up the majority of emails received by individuals. While most spam emails push products of scrupulous companies, others are downright dangerous and can cause extensive damage to your computer. With millions of users being affected by spam, and literally millions of dollars being poured into dealing with this growing problem, many governments have stepped up to the plate to tackle the issue. To this effect, the governments of different countries have framed anti spam laws and issued directives to stop the proliferation of spam.
While you may be accustomed to using various preventive and/or removal techniques that are available for dealing with spam, you should take the initiative to report spam so that those behind it will be stopped. This will ensure that spam is kept in check in the long run. There have been many instances when authorities have severely penalized spammers and have also made them compensate users for the damages wrought on their computer systems. Spam prevention might be difficult if you don’t report your encounters with spam. Though it might take some time for the benefits to emerge, reporting spam is the best way to curb it in the long run.
China is second in number, only next to the United States in terms of adding to the volume of global spam. It was for long seen as the perfect haven for spam servers thanks to the unwillingness of the government to address to the problem. In the early days, a large portion of traffic was being funneled through to China, despite the fact that individual spammers were based elsewhere. At the time, China servers were out of reach to western governments. However China has now agreed to join worldwide efforts in putting a stop to spam. This is a welcomed move by China to ensure the safety of the internet users all over the world.
The anti spam law that has been passed by China is very restrictive. It imposes a restriction on free speech in the virtual world. According to the new law, internet service providers and businesses must inform the government 20 days in advance prior to building an email server. They must also preserve outgoing emails at least 60 days after being distributed. The provisions enumerated in the anti spam law are directed towards protecting the privacy of the online users and ensuring their safety.
