Over the past several years, Congress has considered a number of bills designed to combat the growing problem of unsolicited commercial e-mail — commonly referred to as “spam.” Because Congress has yet to enact an overarching law to deal with spam, a number of states have filled the void by enacting their own laws.
Now, in a new twist, a recent study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project suggests that spam does not present much of a problem, at least for American adults in the workplace. The results of the study are surprising, as many of us may feel inundated with spam at work, notwithstanding the implementation of filters and other techniques devised to try to root out spam.
