France builds official anti-spam platform

This can be really good. Many of the readers of this site have been calling out for covernment action against spammers. And it looks as if France is in the lead, when it comes to some real action.

”On Thursday, the French government launched “Signal Spam”, an anti-spam platform created in association with public entities and private companies, such as Microsoft. Internet users will be able to

report spam messages by mailing them to this platform which will act as a centralised monitor of spamming activities. The platform will generate a blacklist and help initiate prosecutions against spammers.”
