It doesn't work that way. A website is opt-in, spam is no-opt. If you
|
|
visit a samizdat site you can get in trouble. If you get samizdat spam,
|
|
the worst that can be said is that you might have read it. And as long as
|
|
the mailers send to individuals who clearly didn't opt-in, like party
|
|
officials, then other recipients can't get in trouble for requesting the
|
|
mail.
|
|
|
|
Plus, it's much harder to block spam than web sites.
|
|
|
|
But this shouldn't come as a surprize. Spam is speech. It may be sleazy,
|
|
but so what.
