Spam Attack
Seems like lately there is a ton of spam trying to get on the blog. Almost every day, there’s over a hundred fake comments.
Now, it’s not really a problem for my particular blog, since I’m running Spam Karma, so all you spammers can kiss my ass, but it’s still crazy.
I wonder how different the underpinnings of the internet would be, had the problem of spam been realized from the start? Is it possible to seperate the desirable goals of resistance to censorship/control and anonymity and leaving the whole this open to spammers? Is there really anything that could be done about spam, save kicking any Microsoft operating system off the net, which is absolutely unrealistic?
