Mainstream media criticizes Wikipedia because it represents a decentralization of their information monopoly Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And although there are some isolated cases of Wiki vandalism and spamming, they are extremely rare given the enormous collection of content covered by Wikipedia. That's why Wikipedia is really a milestone in the history of the internet and the history of free information, and that's exactly why it is under constant assault by the traditional institutions that influence public opinion in this country, such as the press, the White House, and large corporations. Real information vs. processed news Your average hometown newspaper really just pretends to practice genuine journalism.

Web marketing guru Jim Sterne gives advice on how to successfully utilize customer emails Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The pressing issues that we face are those folks who are maliciously spamming, and it's not that they're breaking the law, but that they are causing a problem. Again, you're a Fortune 500 company and you're getting hundreds of thousands of spam emails a day -- it's an infrastructure cost to manage that. So it's the guys who are sending out a billion emails a day that we want to go after first, instead of somebody in some division of some company who forgot to put their unsubscribe link on their email. They're not malicious. They just didn't pay attention.

Interview with John Levine on the War on SPAM Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

So I think that and hope that as these trials start to happen -- and the bad guys start discovering you can actually be put in jail for spamming -- it will scare a bunch of them off. If we start seeing civil recoveries against spammers, even if they don't go to jail, losing a $100,000 civil case really wipes out the profits for an awful lot of fake body-part enlargement pills. I'm hoping that once they see that it's no longer easy money, it will scare a lot of them off.

There are plenty of other reasons to dislike them, but yes, that particular part of Kraft definitely has a spamming history. Mike: That's fascinating. I wasn't aware of that. What about from the end user point of view? Given the environment today, what realistic steps can an end user take to stop spam? Levine: I tell people that there are three basic approaches -- you can filter, you can hide, and you can fight.

Email privacy now a top concern for 19 out of 20 internet users Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

You're going to get a higher percentage of signups, those people are going to stay with your email newsletter longer, they are a lot less likely to accuse you of spamming them, and, if these statistics hold out, they are also going to give you more business because they trust your company. There are additional benefits to being certified that go beyond customer trust. You’ll also find that it's easier to defend yourself against unscrupulous spam complaints.

Email marketing service provider Listrak spams president of permission-based email software company with unsolicited commercial email Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In other words, this is a classic example of a company (Listrak) claiming to be involved in permission email marketing but which is running around spamming their own competitors with unsolicited email messages in an effort to drum up new business! And the funniest part of all is that John Lozzi obviously didn't realize I'm a feature writer for a news network that was going to post his spammy email across the internet for the amusement of people everywhere. What can I say? ROTFL! John, you spammed the wrong guy today. But keep 'em coming, please. Laughter is good medicine.

Can-Spam anti-spam law remains useless after first year on the books Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Can-Spam, in contrast, has really only legalized spamming. You see, Can-Spam doesn't outlaw spam at all: it technically makes it 100% legal! As I've said all along, this isn't a problem that can be solved by legislation alone. It's going to take technical solutions combined with certification processes like Relemail to really make a lasting difference.

E-mail spamming could be stopped instantly. All Congress would have to do is pass a law forbidding credit card companies to process payments from spam e-mail. Any credit card company that processed a payment from a spam e-mail would face severe fines or loss of the right to process any credit cards, or jail. The credit card companies then would take the responsibility of knowing their customers and finding out how business was generated. E-mail spamming would stop. The policing action is simple.
