EU calls for tougher stance on spam

EU member states are not doing enough to tackle the problems of spam, spyware and malicious software, the European Commission has said. This is despite EU legislation banning spam that dates back to 2002.

In a policy document released yesterday, the commission urged national authorities to start ensuring that companies have proper filtering policies. It also called for prosecution for those involved in illegal online activities as well as ensuring that those fighting the spam problem are sufficiently resourced.
