FTC Issues Anti-Spam Report

The FTC's new 116 page anti-spam report "Effectiveness and Enforcement of the CAN-SPAM Act," is the FTC's first assessment since the CAN SPAM law took effect. The report discusses the FTC's anti-spam initiatives, what still needs to be done, and advocates news laws.

The report recommends that more private sector anti-spam efforts are needed.

The FTC is also recommending enactment the "Undertaking Spam, Spyware, And
Fraud Enforcement With Enforcers Beyond Borders Act of 2005 (US SAFE WEB Act
of 2005)," to crack down on foreign spam.
