phone spammers fined

[JohnD]

"A cold-calling firm has been fined a record £400,000 by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for making almost 100 million nuisance calls."

"The company has since gone into liquidation but the ICO said it was committed to recovering the fine."

"Keurboom director Greg Rudd told the Mirror newspaper that he found cold-calling "annoying" but said it was "part of life".

"I don't enjoy receiving them but that doesn't make them illegal," he said."
(this is not true)

"In October, the government announced plans to let the ICO fine company directors as well as their businesses."
(it is not known when or if a law will come effective)

Perhaps forum spammers who clog this site up with same old same old left wing anti brexit threads should be fined.

Unfortunately fines, no matter how large, are not a deterrent if Companies can simply go bust.

Something I find disappointing.

Poor thing. Why don't you stick to right wing only sites/forums instead of a DIY site?

Still happy, unlike poor sad noseall who has to get his kicks trawling the net for tidbits to make him feel big.

An attempt to blame Trump or those who voted for Trump.

Same as the attempt to blame the Brexiteers in the UK.

I'm sure Transam would say that politicians preaching against minority groups have no effect.

That's why Kristallnacht didn't happen.

Oops, my mistake, it did.

can't you think of anyone?

 

[Ihavenojob]

can't you think of anyone?

It used to be called "Stating the bleeding obvious"

 

[JohnD]

attacking minority groups has always been a popular technique by certain kinds of people, for example suggesting an affinity between migrants, refugees and rats.

suggesting an affinity between migrants, refugees and rats.

You missed out cockroaches, bedbugs, TB & probably a few more nasties. Oh, and not a suggestion.
