The Commerce Industry & Technology
Bureau recently issued an important
consultation document calling for public
comment on what anti-spam legislation
in Hong Kong should look like. The principal
objective of this important event is
to raise awareness within the IT sector
and the general public on (1) why the
government has suggested the approach
outlined in the consultation paper,
(2) how other governments have addressed
the issue, and how successful their
laws have been in facilitating effective
enforcement action, and (3) how anti-spam
legislation may impact the broader community
of computer users in Hong Kong.
