Spam Laws Worldwide: Argentina - Update
Posted by Rebecca Bolin on Wednesday, May 19 @ 12:06:10 EDT Spam
With a potentially sweeping judicial ruling pending, new legislation has been introduced in Argentina, protecting data as a personal right in the tradition of habeas data. (See Colombia's Habeas Data ruling).

Pablo Palazzi, an expert on Latin American spam policy and plaintiff in the pending Argentina ruling (covered here) has commented on the legislation, noting enforcement problems and issues with existing laws.

There was also a push for legislation in Argentina in 2002, but now the issue is more pressing. Spam volume has increased dramatically in those years, and pending judicial activism might make legislators more likely to act.
