You don't hate email; you hate BAD email. Probably broadcast junk.
GOOD email is private Bank statements over a provably secure e2e transport marked clearly for filters (with a JSON section for import automatically; am I right?). It's "here is a new copy of the plans." It's "Dear Aunt Helen."
Every now and then, although I know and support the alternate position for reasons I think have been shown as obvious, repeatedly, I sometimes think a 1¢ postage for unsolicited mail - okay, make it a buck - would be okay... IFF that could be figured so the recipient would be assured of getting half. Make it cost; make it pay.
No no, hear me out. Unpaid transit charges for unsolicited bulk email by the person owning the domain is now inter-region or international wire fraud, and the people making a habit of it will build up enough that they'll warrant action. Ergo, make it financial and maybe we'll see cops raiding scam shops.
That's the dream anyway....
The US was actually headed this way, starting with spam phone centers... Then the head of the FCC was replaced.
Could be a coincidence. Could be open naked class warfare by billionaires against the rest of us. Hard to say which, for sure.
This sounds amazing. Although I feel like they'd just pull the cruise ship thing and register their "business" elsewhere.
But hey it'd be a great step! Remember when everyone was SO hopeful for the "National Do Not Call Registry"? Hahahaha...
