The Federal Trade Commission has once again admitted to incompetence, this time on their so called and previously purported; Aggressive Attack on SPAM. In a recent report to the United States Congress from the FTCs Consumer Protection Division "Effectiveness and Enforcement of the CAN-SPAM Act," the FTC gave numerous excuses to their piss poor performance. In fact since the Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, the FTC has done little more than define what SPAM is, filed 60 lawsuits representing less than one-percent of the SPAM and now further defines the problems with SPAM in a 116 page report probably designed to baffle the Congressmen with Bull Sheet. It worked for the Congress apparently but you and I are still screwed as our inbox is filled with SPAM. The FTC further insists it needs greater power to go after International SPAMMERS now, even after their promise in many press releases that it was attacking SPAM aggressively. We now see that is simply not so, they lied. Indeed many feel they have done nothing more than show their incompetence in the fight on SPAM and thus embolden the SPAMMERS World-Wide. Cant anyone at the FTC get their act together, boy they make our Justice Department look silly and weak. Think on this. |
