User Falsely Accused of Spamming. Anyone with an email account or a website is at risk.
Internet marketers are especially vulnerable .
As an Internet marketer, but also as a champion of the small ISP, I am deeply concerned about the direction this is headed. When you mix together ISPs, netiquette, user empowerment, privacy, and Internet marketing, clearly there are a number of rights in conflict. Yet ISPs do not seem to be willing to look at the big picture and no one else is willing to either. The so-called champions of free speech on the Internet, the EFF and even the ACLU, are taking the easy way out on this issue. As the Wired story relates, UUnet did just that.
