Our comments submitted to the
Federal Trade Commission answering questions on
unsolicited commercial e-mail to be addressed in a FTC-sponsored Privacy
Workshop in June 1997
Report of the CDT ad-hoc working group on UCE to the FTC
During the FTC privacy workshop in June 1997, the FTC commissioned the
Center for Democracy and Technology to lead an ad-hoc working group to
present a more in-depth study of the junk e-mail situation than was
possible during the workshop itself. Over a year later, the report of
this group was released. Already outdated in some areas by the time of
its release, and frought with lack of real consensus among the members on
many points, the basic conclusions and recommendations shed little
additional light on the issue, merely highlighting the points of
contention already raised at the original workshop and hashed about in
various media over the intervening year. The political influence of the
direct marketers and other monied interests is quite obvious in the 'soft
on UCE solutions' tone of the report. Also, those continuing to insist
that there is some 'free speech' issue with regard to dumpping loads of
unwanted, unauthorized advertising mail onto the privately-owned machines
managed to retain language that incorrectly equates banning UCE with
banning a class of somehow constitutionally 'protected' speech.
