Law to tackle unwanted spam passed
NZPA | Wednesday, 28 February 2007
The Government's anti-spam bill was passed last night with a promise it would help stem the avalanche of unwanted e-mails clogging New Zealand in-boxes.
Communications Minister David Cunliffe said when he introduced the Unsolicited Electronic Messages bill, spam made up to 80 per cent of e-mail traffic worldwide.
Mr Cunliffe said last night the law would contribute to an international crackdown on spam and prevent New Zealand becoming a haven for spammers.
The bill bans unsolicited electronic messages and requires senders of commercial messages to include accurate sender information and allow recipients to unsubscribe.
It also bans porn spam, which provides links to websites.
