- Whereas,
- The electronic mail inboxes of every man, woman and child on the face of the planet are being clogged with unwanted solicitory email, hereafter referred to as SPAM.
- Whereas,
- This problem is causing minutes a day in irritation, millions of kilobytes of bandwith waste, and millions of dollars of corporate money from the clogging.
- Whereas,
- The problem is and has been growing at a nearly exponential rate for years now.
- Whereas,
- All people have the right to be free from barrages of obscenity and unwanted sales offers, and these serve only to worsen the general mood and lifestyle of civilization
It is proposed that from twenty days after the passage of this bill, laws be put into effect in every member country of the United Nations stating that any company found to be in posession of a list of emails for the usage of SPAM be fined the equivilent to five hundred thousand dollars and any company found to be sending unsolicitated email be fined the equivilent of five thousand dollars per email.
Companies wishing to continue sending emails to private citizens must be in posession of a valid electronic signature which was gained without deceit and with a full disclaimer explaining what form of email the signee was subscribing to.
