Spam, once a mere nuisance, has become a serious problem for individuals and businesses alike. As much as 80% of e-mails circulating on the internet are estimated to be spam, and the threat is spreading to other technologies such as mobile phones and instant messaging services. Besides clogging networks and facilitating the spread of viruses or fraudulent schemes, spam is a major factor in undermining trust in the Internet, thus slowing the growth of the digital economy. To support the development of an inclusive and coherent answer to the spam issue, the OECD, has launched an Anti-Spam “Toolkit” as the first step in a broader initiative to help policy makers, regulators and industry players orient their policies relating to spam solutions and restore trust in the Internet and e-mail. The OECD Anti-Spam Toolkit and its Annexes are available HERE. NEW: See the OECD proposal for a Workshop on Spam during the first IGF meeting in Athens. These pages provide a repository of resources and information on anti-spam activities and solutions at the international level. The Toolkit is in constant evolution, and contributions from all stakeholders are very welcome (spam.project at oecd.org).
