Hong Kong plans to try to stop spam

Every week we see more countries sitting down and deciding to do something serious (meaning creating laws and policies) about spam. This week Hong Kong announced that it is putting into place anti-spam measures in order to fight spam on several fronts.

The most interesting thing to note, at least in that particular release, was that (unlike many that we see) it was actually about bulk mailing in general and not just scams which use that as their delivery mechanism.

It still remains to be seen as to how effective any of the measures put in place by any of the countries talking about it will be. It is easy to talk about it, but harder to act on it with success.
