It’s a massive oversimplification to say that EFF supports or ’is in the corner of’ spam. It doesn’t, although it does flag up free speech problems that could occur if antispam measures are applied too broadly.

Quote from EFF: ”EFF enthusiastically endorses antispam measures and policies that preserve free speech by allowing users to determine what kinds of messages will be filtered out and which ones won’t.”

If you believe that spam is a free-speech issue then you must also believe that if some drunk follows you round talking crap at you all day and every day and just will not go away, ever, then that is free speech too.

Spam is harrassment, plain and simple.

You don’t have to worry about spam since AOL/Netscape wipes out everything in your mailbox and cancels its service
