French CNIL sends spammers to trial

If you helped CNIL by sending sample SPAM to them, be thanked!

It had a great postive effect: five French companies will be tried to SPAM upon a formal request by CNIL for their SPAM activities. A very bright example and a major event in France where the fight against SPAM is escalating quickly now (and the European Directive against SPAM will be implemented in French law next year).

Kudos to CNIL!

According to antivirus software manufacturer Sophos and The Register, FriendGreetings.com now uses a guerilla marketing mechanism that sends ads to friends of their customers/users (in their name). Apparently, this is explained (in tiny characters) in their End User License Agreement, but this is ugly and totally annoying indeed. The best thing to do is to remove them from your bookmarks and amybe stop them from your network altogether.
