Verizon to Pay Affected Customers for Spam Blockade
Brian McWilliams writes on the Spam Kings blog:
A settlement has been proposed in the class action lawsuit over Verizon's aggressive spam blocking. Under the deal, affected Verizon Internet Services customers may receive up to $49 if they failed to receive "legitimate email" between October 2004 and May 2005 from Asia or Europe.More here.
Notice of the proposed settlement was emailed to some Verizon subscribers over the weekend. Information is also available online at emailblockingsettlement.com.
The lawsuit stems from Verizon's anti-spam strategy of briefly blocking all email from large swaths of IP addresses, effectively cordoning off entire countries from emailing Verizon customers.
