Spamhaus Opening New Branch in China

Eggplant62 writes "ChinaTechNews.com is reporting that Steve Linford's Spamhaus.org will open operations with the help of Chinese government officials and ISP's in order to remove spammers operating servers on China's portion of the Internet. For years, China's unwitting ignorance of the spam issues they have with the rest of the world has been a major stumbling block in the fight to control spammers who operate from the netblocks of foreign nations. Seeing China take steps to help the world curb the scourge of junk email has me cheering all the way. Go Steve!"

What's the penalty for spamming in China, getting runover by a tank?

Great title.... makes Spamhaus sound like a fast food chain !

Why not?

The threat of prosecution in China may deter spammers from continuing spamming.

Being executed and the family being billed for the bullet will certainly prevent them from spamming again.

I have grave reservations about putting spammers in front of a firing squad.

They need something far more agonising and drawn out. Eaten alive by rats maybe?

I really don't understand this murderous hatred of spammers. What they do is incredibly annoying and costs businesses a lot of money, but have they ever killed anyone?

When spam ends up killing someone, then I may be able to understand putting a spammer in front of a firing squad.

At present I think a better punishment for spammers would be to have an implant inserted into their inner that constantly plays Greensleeves or Macarena constantly. Or insert an implant behind their eyes so they regularly see visions of enlarged penises...

Now, when they will outsource the recipients to China as well?

I just see it:
"Enlarge your party membership"
"Hot XXX caucasian teens"

In communist China...
