EU Plans to Crack Down on Spamming
Nov 28, 2006
The Associated Press reports in Yahoo! News that the European Union (EU) plans to introduce new legislation to make it easier to prosecute email spammers who target Europeans. According to the EU, "unsolicited e-mails continue to plague Europeans and account for between 50 and 80 percent of all messages sent to mail inboxes."
One EU spokesperson says that the "biggest culprit of spam remains the United States, which accounts for 21.6 percent of spam" in the EU. China and France hold the second and third spots respectively.
