(2003-06-27) — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced today that it will fund the new “Do Not Call” registry by selling the email addresses of registrants to Internet-based marketing companies.
The plan should save taxpayers millions of dollars, and spur the online economy.
An unnamed spokesman said the FTC will continue to protect the privacy of American consumers by requiring Internet marketers to phone each person to get verbal permission before sending any offers via email.
