Reuters: U.K. Plans to Extradite Spammers
British lawmakers plan to use a new tactic to stop the torrent of junk e-mail spam that floods in from overseas: extraditing the mass-mailers and bringing them to trial in the United Kingdom.
“Spammers are no longer an irritant, they are a threat,” British MP Brian White said Thursday. The U.K. last month was the second European Union country after Italy to criminalize spam in a law that goes into effect in December.
