Ask HN: Why aren't we fighting email spam more effectively?
5 by outcoldman | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I own a few businesses and receive daily emails from (a) hiring agencies, (b) investment firms, and (c) companies selling “user data” (e.g., Docker users, Apple users, etc.). None of these emails are CAN-SPAM compliant (in the USA). I started looking into whether it’s even possible to report these violations, but it seems like ICANN doesn’t really care. They only enforce abuse forms/emails with domain registrars when spam includes phishing or other specific violations. Have we just given up on fighting spam? Is it because we allow cold sales outreach to continue unchecked?
