At first sight this can be said to "have little to do with data privacy".
But it does. Because poor implementations of data privacy, and poor
legislative enforcement mean that the "Charge people" attitude will prevail.

Subject: Re: [data-protection] The Email Stamp - a proposed toll on email
There currently seem to be a couple of main trains of thought for dealing
with spam:-
a) Make the spammers pay. Three words - ha, ha, ha.
These are pretty inventive (twisted, but inventive) people who spend all day
devising new ways to dodge spam blockers. Fake credit card numbers are
fairly simple to create - it won't even tax their brains that much..
b) I believe Mr Gates aims to build in mistrust to the system - the OS and
the apps won't trust one another automatically, as they do now. Can't help
wondering if only M$ OS and apps be able to talk to each other by then (a
few years, several new OS's and plenty of expensive new hardware away), thus
cementing the market stranglehold?
Keep taking the spam blockers (red & white stripes, alternate Tuesdays)
regards Su
