Spam containing pornographic text or images will be required to bear a warning in the subject line for easy filtering, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said yesterday. This is gonna solve the problem? I'm not holding my breath.
Starting May 19, sexually explicit e-mail will have to bear a label reading " Sexually-Explicit:" and the messages themselves will not be allowed to contain graphic material, the FTC said. Outrage over unsolicited pornography and other forms of junk e-mail spurred Congress to pass the first nationwide antispam law last year, which required the FTC to develop labels for smut.
