CA Governor Signs Harshest Anti-Spam Bill in U.S.
He may be voted out of office soon, but California Governor Gray Davis is making his mark in the Internet world before he goes. On September 23, Davis signed what to date is the toughest anti-spam bill in the U.S. The bill, written by Democratic State Senator Kevin Murray, allows for penalties of $1000 per unsolicited e-mail and as much as $1 million for all-out spam campaigns. Not only those that send spam, but also those whose products and services are advertised, are targeted.
“People are tired of getting this stuff in their inbox,” Murray says. “When it can be 30%, 40%, 50% of the e-mail you receive, it's costing people money and aggravation.”
Davis said in a statement: “California is sending a clear message to Internet spammers: we will not allow you to litter the information superhighway with e-mail trash.”
