And all the spammers move to China where the FBI, DHS and police have no authority. Oh wait - you say they already have? ** Reply to message from "Larry Pingree" <lpingree () juniper net> on Thu, 24 Jun 2004 11:17:37 -0700
Hi Joe, If only those who are approved email senders are allowed to be accepted, this allows police, FBI, or DHS to go after only those who are registered and abusing it. It's for the same purpose that we administer car registrations, so that at the end of the day, someone is responsible for the car. In this case, someone can be responsible for the domain and mail server. In its current state, we are left way in the open. I don't disagree that government control is un-desirable, but remember, at least in my mind, even though it may be undesirable, it may be a necessary action. Anyone know why we have to get a drivers license? How about a passport? What about a SSN? All of these things are ways in which we can have accountability. Without accountability we will remain in anarchy. All that government does is bridge a gap when corporations, which only do things for profit, will not collaborate on an appropriate solution to a problem, even though one exists.
