Spam is it Advertising or is it Harassment?



Do you ever get tired of going to you email and finding Massages from People and Companies/Websites that you do not know or even wish to know? Well you are not alone, this happens to everyone who has access to the Internet. They call it Spam (advertising), but I call it harassment.

They say to combat this you can add/download a Spam Blocker, but now you are having to add something to you computer due to someones else's actions. In other words you have to change your life due to un-wanted actions from another. To me this is harassment.

As for me I think the world would be a better place if this Spam thing was outlawed, that way we the viewer of the Wide World Web could choice what we wanted to have on our email accounts/Internet Browser and not shoved down our you know what.

Some say it is freedom of speech, but I say what happen to freedom of privacy? Is this a infringement of my privacy rights? I would give a educated guess and say yes, so why is the Government not doing something about this? Could it because our Government is no longer on the side of the People, but is on the side of the Big Business. And yes there is Big Business behind all this, and why not it is cheap advertising.

I know about SPAM. I have 2 email accounts and one email I'm actually trying to delete, but I still get things from people on the old email. My old email gets a lot of SPAM. I feel like all I do is unsubscribing to all these emails. Once I unsubscribe, then some other company gets my email and starts emailing me all kinds of stuff. They are annoying and all I do is delete them.
