Displaying items by tag: Optout

AUTHORITY NEWS: The law setting out how businesses must action unsubscribe (or ‘opt-out’) messages from consumers receiving commercial SMS and email has recently been further clarified.

The My Health Record system may well end up as one of the many Australian Government tech wrecks, the former head of the country's Digital Transformation Agency, Paul Shetler, says, adding that if he were Australian he would probably opt out himself.

The latest “seasonal” scam is to link a “payload” to unsubscribe buttons. It starts with a socially engineered phishing campaign sending out copious legitimate looking newsletters or e-zines, typically on topics relevant to your interests.

The Coalition has dropped a policy bombshell on the eve of the election, announcing it will implement an opt-out Internet filter if it wins government. Then within hours the leader of the Opposition and the Shadow Broadband Minister hastily retracted the proposed policy.
