Why isnt anyone doing anything about it? I dont hear any news on any attempts to stop it. It doesnt hurt to sign it to show your disgust. Appreciate the non-support.
I think you misinterpreted what I said, or at least what I meant. Let me explain - I'm all for stopping spyware and adware. I think it would be nice to make it a punishable offense, if policy could be enforced and it was actually possible in more than just theory.
What I'm saying is that generally online petitions do nothing. They hold no authority, no real say in things. I could forge an online petition and plead a case and say hundreds of thousands or more people agree - because online I can make it look like that.
If you want policy change, encourage members to contact their government - representatives, senators, governors - anyone willing to listen. Urge your government representatives to back internet laws regarding 'spam', spyware, adware, etc. Go out and do a real petition with signatures of real people. Send that to the government to show them your support.
But don't hold your breath on policy change by online petition.
