Senators stand up for spam bill

Senators Wyden and Burns: Why we've finally canned spam

In the end, fighting spam is going to require a multipronged approach. It will require improved technology, which is why we welcome the recent announcement that Yahoo is working on technology to authenticate the source of e-mails. Greater cross-border cooperation is needed, which is why we joined three U.K. Parliament members to urge our respective governments to engage in bilateral cooperation on spam enforcement. Of course, kingpin spammers must also face tough criminal and civil penalties, which is why we proudly co-authored the Can-Spam Act.
