The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email (CAUCE<\/a>) went over the top yesterday, perhaps euphoric that Canada’s proposed anti-spam bill (C-28) received support in its review by the House Industry, Science and Technology Committee.<\/p>\n

It has an article linking spam to kidnapping, theft and rape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kidnap. Rape. There are no lesser words that can be used to describe what happened to the daughter of an anti-spam investigator in Russia.<\/p>\n

His daughter was recently released, according to Joseph Menn\u2019s recent article on\u00a0Boing Boing<\/a>, after having been kidnapped from her home five years ago, fed drugs, and made to service men, as a warning to ward off further investigations.<\/p>\n

The criminals behind these vicious acts were also responsible for large spamming organization associated with Russian Mob activity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s why CAUCE believes we need to ban legitimate Canadian businesses from sending you an email asking if you want to get notified of upcoming sales and promotions.<\/p>\n

As I have written before<\/a>, Canada is on the verge of banning electronic communications that are perfectly legal in paper form (and actually encouraged by Canada Post).<\/p>\n

The CAUCE article goes on to say that most spam is sent by organized criminal gangs, just like other organized crimes. I agree completely.<\/p>\n

Why then are we so comfortable with restrictions on other emails. This bill goes farther than necessary and will be an inhibitor in efficiencies enabled by electronic commerce.<\/p>\n

Why haven’t more groups vocalized the danger of legislation so broad that it will impinge upon choice of communications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
