UK Companies Warned to Filter Spam
A Dutch researcher has warned British businesses that a clause in the European anti-spam law could hold businesses accountable for porn showing up in corporate email accounts. Researcher Lodewijk Asscher, from the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Information Law, says the anti-spam legislation is comprised of broad wording and some porn might be slipping through. Employers could be held responsible if porn at work prompts a staff member to launch a lawsuit claiming it caused them distress. spam solution providers will be happy to hear that the researcher is urging corporations to implement spam filters, and that failing to take measures to weed out pornographic spam may make them more likely to be held responsible in lawsuits.
