A tough anti-spam bill favored by Internet Service Providers was reintroduced yesterday in the Senate.
The CAN Spam bill authored by Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is similar to one considered last year by the 107th Congress. It would require that consumers be given a chance to opt out of individual e-mail lists, and would allow the FTC to impose civil fines on violators.
A companion anti-spam bill will probably be introduced in the House of Representatives within a few weeks by Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-LA), sources said.
