News: Groups implore FTC to outlaw spam
In a 14-page set of proposed rules that already has drawn fire as overly regulatory, the groups suggest that the FTC outlaw commercial e-mail that misrepresents the content of the message or fails to provide a way to unsubscribe from the mailing list.

"Spam is threatening the value of the Internet," said Samuel Simon, chairman of the Telecommunications Research and Action Center (TRAC). "We believe there is regulatory authority for the Federal Trade Commission to act and do something. It's not perfect, but if the rule we ask for is enacted, spam will be reduced significantly."
